The Haas Center is currently in negotiations with the City of Pensacola to conduct the study for 2018. The 2016 Voter Satisfaction Survey study was commissioned.by Escambia County Supervisor of Elections (SOE) to conduct a mixed -methods survey of registered voters in order to measure multiple items, including voter satisfaction with the polling locations and staff; use and familiarity of SOE services; knowledge about election rules; and voting method choice. The survey was administered in tW;o waves over four months in 2016, concentrating around the August 30th Primary and the �ovember 8th General Election. It provided voters a key opportunity to give feedback about their experiences. In turn, the SOE will use the results to evaluate their own performance, training programs and choice of polling locations. This data could help identify opportunities for improvement or inform new educational programs in response to identified knowledge gaps. Moreover, analysis by voting method choice allows the Supervisor's Office to understand the motivations behind choosing voting methods. The Santa Rosa County Military Spouse Technical Skills Inventory was commissioned by the Santa Rosa County Economic Development Office (EDO) with the goal of studying the skill sets of military spouses residing in Santa Rosa County. Intercept studies were conducted at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Florida. The study documents the technical skills that military spouses have, as well as demographics of this population, their projected length of residency, employment status and availability of employment. The data provides a list of occupations in which the target population have experience, as well as transferable skills that could be marketable to many industries. The demographics and family status of the total U.S. military force as well as active duty population are provided for comparison in the report. The Haas Center has an ongoing relationship with many regional municipalities and counties. A recent example is the "2014 Six Pillars Economic and Community Development Strategic Plan for the Town of Century, Florida (Century Strategic Plan)." The Town of Century commissioned the Haas Center to create an economic development strategic plan as part of the Comprehensive Planning Technical Assistance Grant Program, administered by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity. The Century Strategic Plan was conducted over the course of a year and utilized a multi -stage process including the development of socio-economic demographic profiles, analyses of both the local and regional markets, the collection of input from four stakeholder focus groups, and an analysis of the community's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT analysis) to form the economic and community development strategic plan that is now in its third year of implementation.
