page 20 Opportunities for Improvement ETC Institute leverages specific survey design features to ensure that the survey results can be used to develop opportunities or priorities for improvement. Two of the most important criteria for decision making are 1) to target resources towards services where importance is highest and 2) to target resources towards services where respondents are least satisfied The Importance-Satisfaction Analysis is a unique tool that allows public officials to better understand both highly important decision-making criteria Highest Opportunities for Improvement Based on the Importance-Satisfaction Analysis: Safe and Secure Village • Enforcement of Traffic Laws Accessible, Connected and Mobile Transportation • Traffic Conditions Along Rickenbacker Causeway • Overall Village Traffic Conditions Resilient and Sustainable Environment and Infrastructure • Stormwater Drainage Improvements • Flood Control Efforts • Electrical Power Reliability 27

2026 Village of Key Biscayne Community Survey Executive Summary Overview ETC Institute administered a community survey to the Village of Key Biscayne in the winter of 2026. The results of this survey will be used to provide superior public safety, services, and infrastructure. Methodology ETC Institute mailed a survey packet to randomly selected households in Key Biscayne. Each survey packet contained a cover letter, a copy of the seven-page survey, and a postage-paid return envelope. The cover letter explained the purpose of the survey and encouraged residents to either return their survey by mail or complete the survey online. Ten days after the surveys were mailed, ETC Institute followed up with the households that received the survey to encourage participation. To prevent people who were not residents of Key Biscayne from participating, everyone who completed the survey online was required to enter their home address prior to submitting the survey. ETC Institute then matched the addresses that were entered online to the addresses that were originally selected for the random sample. If the address from a survey completed online did not match one of the addresses selected for the sample, the online survey was not counted. The sampling plan was designed to obtain a minimum of 500 completed surveys from randomly selected households in the Village, a target that was successfully achieved with a total of 501 completed surveys collected. For a community the size of the Village of Key Bisc
