The purpose of this survey was to confirm and prioritize feedback from the community on their values, issues facing the City, and vision for the future initially collected through a diverse engagement program held in Fall 2019. In this survey, which was created with Metroquest, an online platform, community members were asked to prioritize top strengths and challenges in Thousand Oaks and map where future growth and change (e.g., housing, entertainment, open space) should be located in the city. The survey collected 461 responses. The following is a description of the survey questions and summary of responses collected. The survey consisted of 5 pages or screens: • Welcome • Strengths & Values • Issues & Challenges • Map Exercise • Wrap Up The strengths and values screen included a list of eight community reported strengths and values. Participants were asked to rank their top four out of eight community strengths and values from the list.
