BUSINESS SURVEY RESULTS
Communications Director Garrison introduced the item noting last fall the City contracted with National
Research Center to conduct the National Business Survey. For the first time, this allows benchmarking
with a small but growing number of cities. The National Business Survey is an assessment tool to gather
opinions of businesses on a range of community issues, services and amenities giving Eagan decision
makers first-ever feedback on how businesses think the City is doing on everything from the delivery of
public safety services to transportation. Garrison noted the results are meant to offer the City Council
and staff a snapshot of the business viewpoint about community quality and government services.
Communications Director Garrison and Strategic & Digital Communications Coordinator King provided a
presentation highlighting the survey results and were available for questions.
The City Council offered their observations and feedback with regard to the survey results.
There was no other business to be heard.
