Quarterly Analysis
- Q2 reaches 4.34, up +0.03 from 4.31 in 2026-Q1, the strongest score in this eight-quarter run and solidly green.
- The positive movement came while Harborview managed peak spring construction, early beach operations, and expanded recreation registration, so the result reflects real operating discipline.
- Residents continued to respond well to timely updates, especially the capital-project QR signs on Bayview Drive, the recreation waitlist texts, and the combined permit/inspection dashboard launched in May.
- The arc from 4.24 in 2024-Q3 to 4.34 now gives council a credible story: satisfaction is not accidental; it is being earned through consistent service design, clean data, and follow-up.
Recommendations
- Sustain the green by formalizing the service-update standards into a citywide resident communications checklist for every department by the next quarterly close.
- Extend the permit/inspection dashboard to include average turnaround by application type, starting with ADUs, tenant improvements, and small commercial remodels.
- For the next cycle, keep the survey fielding window and methodology stable so the 4.34 result remains comparable and defensible.
