(KAIR)--A lengthy presentation Monday by Atchison City Manager Mark Westhoff regarding the findings of a recent community survey conducted by the City.

Westhoff's review of the survey's findings came early during Monday's meeting of the Atchison City Commission:

Following the presentation, a question regarding the City's use of the findings was posed by Commissioner Bill Murphy, with Westhoff explaining that the results of the survey will be utilized as part of future planning.

ETC Institute administered the seven-page community survey for the City in order to gather input from residents on service quality,
priorities, and overall performance. It was mailed to all households in the City with the goal of receiving at least 400 completed surveys exceeded, with a total of 463 households completing it. According to the City, the results for the random sample of households have a 95% level of confidence.

Based on the sum of their top three choices, the public safety services that residents felt were most important to provide were the overall quality of local police protection, the City- efforts to prevent crime, and the overall quality of first responder medical services.
