During the Nov. 2nd committee session, Mayor
Sutherland said the Master Plan surveys were mailed from the Cuyahoga County
Planning Commission around Oct. 23rd. Council, administration and residents
totaled around 20 in the room and no one could say they had received one.
Sutherland said they probably weren’t mailed first class and there was a lot of
election material coming through the mail too. She said they are hoping to have
the surveys returned by Nov. 30th and expect 30% to be returned.
Everyone is curious about the questions in the current
survey for the Master Plan. Alas, I do not have those but I have listed the
questions from the 1999 quality of life survey that was mailed to 500
residents. Approximately half of those surveys were returned. I have looked at
recent (2014) surveys for other cities, and the questions, although tailored to
individual cities, are similar to the questions from 16 years ago. I would have
loved to tell you the answers but it was too much for me to write/copy/paste. I
encourage you to go to the 1999 Master Plan and read the answers. You have to
scroll down to Appendices A.3 – about 200 pages. It is worth a read.
