Accept Information Report on 2015 Business Survey Results <br /> Economic Development Director Pamela Ott presented the 2015 Business Survey results, stating the <br /> City has an economic development strategic plan and one implementation item is to solicit on-going <br /> feedback from businesses in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce and other business <br /> organizations. In 2012, she presented the results of the initial survey which was intended to be a <br /> baseline. This survey had three components: focus groups with small and medium sized companies, a <br /> telephone survey of 376 interviews, and an on-line survey that generated 176 participants, but this was <br /> not statistically valid. <br /> For this year's survey there are two phases; a survey of small and medium sized companies and a <br /> telephone survey with 252 completed interviews. Staff worked with J.D. Franz Research, Inc. to ensure <br /> the interviewing and resulting data is reflective of Pleasanton's business community. The survey has a <br /> margin of 5% margin of error at the 95% confidence level and they had a 74% cooperation rate. <br /> Ms. Ott said she worked closely with the City's Economic Vitality Committee as well as a subcommittee <br /> of the EVC which comprised of herself, James Paxton, Scott Raty, Laura Olson and several other EVC <br /> members. <br /> City Council Minutes Page 3 of 9 October 20,2015 <br />
