The following Table IV-C reports, primarily, the ranking of dissatisfaction
in 1993 with each category of service.
The reader should note the substantial levels of "no opinion" for certain of
the reported services, particularly with public health care; emergency
ambulance services; enforcing environmental-protection regulations; and
approving new building construction. This may well relate to lack of respondent
experience with and understanding of these services.

Table W-D below demonstrates comparisons of survey findings since 1989
on the ranking of the degree of dissatisfaction in each of those years with each
category of service. For example, emergency ambulance services were rated as
unsatisfactory by 17 percent in 1992 as compared to 4 percent who expressed
dissatisfaction in 1991. In 1993, nearly 11 percent are dissatisfied.
Dissatisfaction with road construction increased somewhat in 1993 from
34 percent dissatisfied in 1992.
Responses to the question about telling taxpayers about things that affect
them most reveals that 12 percent fewer persons in 1993 are dissatisfied.
Emergency ambulance services shows a decrease in dissatisfaction level
also, from 17 percent in 1992 down to 11 percent in 1993.
Conversely, dissatisfaction with parks and recreational facilities increased
from 12 percent dissatisfied in 1992 to 17 percent in 1993.
Planning for the future needs of residents shows a significant decrease in
dissatisfaction, from 46 percent in 1992 to 38 percent in 1993.
Other subjects such as library services, remain fairly consistent.
SIXTH ANNUAL TELEPHONE SURVEY OF REGISTERED VOTERS Page 19
Experience With a Specific County Agency or Department
The survey questionnaire employs "user" or "familiarity" questions to
determine if the person interviewed has had a recent encounter with a specific
county agency or department.
For the six reported countywide services listed below, the level of 1993
•
respondent experience is as follows:
TABLE V
Last 12 Months Over a Year Never
REPORTED EXPERIENCE:
Visited a County Library [Qu. 18c.] 76.52% 11.55% 11.91%
Visited a County Park [Qu. 18f.] 71.47% 13.71% 14.80%
Called About a Zoning Matter[Qu. 18a.] 19.13% 13.71% 67.14%
Called for an Ambulance [Qu. 18b.] 10.10% 19.49% 70.39%
Applied for a Building Permit [Qu. 20d.] 8.29% 29.60% 62.09%
Called a Fire Department [Qu. 18e.] 4.69% 7.22% 88.08%
It is interesting to note that claimed use of the library has increased by 5
percent since the 1992 survey when 72 percent said they had visited the library
within the past year. It is fair to assume that the new Main Library building has
attracted interest. This is reinforced by the high number of those within the City
of Naples who claim use of the library within the last year amounting to nearly
four out of five Naples responders. Also, zoning inquiries have increased by four
percent within the last year.
In a further refinement of the question of utilization of County services,
1993 responders, as well as 1991 and 1992 responders were asked to rate the
service in a set of questions about satisfaction with the service. Specifically, they
were asked whether the service was satisfactory or unsatisfactory if they had
used the service within the last 12 months.
It should be noted that the following satisfaction rankings represent a
sub-sample smaller than the total of responders [See appropriate Tables for
Question 16a. through Question 16f.).

instruction or program
P = Personnel cost to conduct instruction of
program
I = Indirect cost for equipment, supplies, and

GREENWAY FACT SHEET
What is a Greenway
A greenway is a corridor of protected open space that is managed for conservation and/or recreation. The word is a
combination of"greenbelt"and"parkway,"and the concept uses elements of both. The common characteristic of
greenways is that they all go somewhere. They link nature reserves,parks, schools,libraries,community centers,
cultural and historic sites with each other and with populated areas.
The Benefits of Greenways
No other conservation initiative provides so many benefits or serves so many different purposes. Greenways not
only protect environmentally sensitive lands and wildlife,but also provide people with access to outdoor recreation
and enjoyment close to home.
Greenways can also:
o Increase the quality of life. Evidence shows that the quality of life in a community is an
increasingly important factor in corporate relocation decisions. Greenways are often cited as
important contributors to quality of life.
o Be tourist attractions which generate spending on lodging,food and recreation-oriented services.
Greenways also improve the overall appeal of a community to perspective tourists and new
residents.
o Provide alternative transportation routes that connect people,communities and the countryside.
• Act as outdoor classrooms.
o Provide refuge and safe movement routes for wildlife.
• Soften urban and suburban landscapes with ribbons of green that improve the quality of life and
enhance property values.
Greenways and Property Values
Studies consistently show that greenways have a positive impact on property values.
• In Denver, Colorado,a 1980 survey revealed that 16%of homeowners said they would be
willing to pay extra for greenway parks in their neighborhoods. By 1990,48%of homeowners
said they would pay extra,thus making greenways more popular than swimming pools.
o In a survey of landowners along Minnesota's Luce Line Trail, 87%felt that the trail had
increased or had no effect on their property value. 61%of suburban owners noted an increase in
their property value.
o Almost 70%of the realtors in a survey of Seattle's greenway said that being adjacent to the trail
would have a positive or neutral effect on selling a home. About 93%of the realtors used the
trail as a selling point,and felt that homes within two blocks of the trail sell for an average of
6.2%more because of the greenway.
• In Raleigh,North Carolina,developers that once argued strongly against creation of the Raleigh
Greenway are now strongly supportive of it. (Many have reportedly realized larger profits due to
the Greenway).
