REV: 06-25-24 VR respondents, and to ensure that the survey length coincides with the budgeted survey length for the project. Develop a recruitment email and recruitment text for the Internet version of the tracking survey and working with the City so that Godbe Research can send recruitment emails and texts to voters with known email addresses and cell phones in the voter file, respectively. This process is identical to the recruitment process used for the City's 2024 Revenue Measure Feasibility Baseline Survey. Based on the City’s communications policies and internal customer/resident lists, we can also match the City’s email lists (e.g., park and recreation lists, communications, etc.) to the voter file, so that we can include additional voters that do not have email addresses in the State Voter File and/or through the San Mateo County Registrar of Voters. Finally, to convey the importance of the survey to registered voters in Redwood City and ensure that the recruitment email is not viewed as spam or malware, they will be signed by the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, or Finance Director, and the email will come from the City’s recognizable @redwoodcity.org email domain to further demonstrate that this is a legitimate City-sponsored survey process. Development of a stratified and clustered listed sample of Redwood City registered voters who are likely to vote in the election cycles of interest to the City, including November 2024 as it coincides with City Council elections and thus provides a general-purpose tax opportunity. The voter sample for the tracking survey process will be primarily constructed using email addresses and cell phones from the voter file, as the Internet modality will be conducted first in the hybrid survey process. Once we have developed the Internet sample, the rest of the sample will be de- duplicated by matching names, addresses, and phone numbers from Internet survey respondents to those in the voter file. We will then remove any voter from the telephone survey sample who previously completed the survey via the Internet. Finally, we will ask all survey respondents in the telephone version if they have already completed the survey via the Internet and will remove those voters from the survey process through a screening question. For review, there are a total of approximately 43,250 total registered voters in the City of Redwood City for which we have email addresses for approximately 23,300 voters or more than half (53%) of the overall voting electorate in the City. We have also identified cell phone numbers for roughly 16,085 City voters or more than one-third (37%) of the City’s overall voting electorate. Finally, we also have landline telephone numbers for roughly 16,910 Redwood City voters or 39% of City voters. For the November 2024 election cycle, we have a similar percentage of contact information for Redwood City registered voters. ATTY/AGR.2024/Amend.
