Subquently,the City of Lake Oswego made the survey available to all community members(Community Engagement). Research Methodology General population Respondents were contacted randomly from a list of registered voters.' Telephone respondents were contacted by a live interviewer and text-to-online respondents received a text invitation directing them to an online survey. In gathering responses, a variety of quality control measures were employed, including questionnaire pre-testing and validation. Quotas were set by gender, age, educational attainment, race and ethnicity, and area of the city. Community engagement After general population survey, the City of Lake Oswego opened the survey to all community members. The city shared the online survey link though various communication channels to ensure the widest reach. Statement of Limitations The General Population survey consisted of 403 Lake Oswego residents, and the Community Engagement portion consisted of 780 residents,for a total of 1,183 respondents.The survey took approximately 13 minutes to complete. General population Any sampling of opinions or attitudes is subject to a margin of error.The margin of error is a standard statistical calculation that represents differences between the sample and total population at a confidence interval, or probability, calculated to be 95%.This means that there is a 95% probability that the sample taken for this study would fall within the stated margin of error if compared with the results achieved from surveying the entire population.The margin of error for this survey is ±4.9%. 1 In November 2022,94%of eligible Oregonians were registered to vote. Given the city's demographic profile it is likely higher in Lake Oswego. #I ■ ■ ■ . 11110110010 • • flu 01 - I1111 _il I _I1, A.1 II i10i u;.
