This table contains data from a survey about the Millenium Youth Entertainment Complex, conducted as part of an Audit of the City's Cultural Centers. This survey was sent out to stakeholders based on reports from City and Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex staff. The survey opened on December 20, 2019 and closed January 10, 2020. Of the 5,181 individuals invited to complete the survey, 695 responded. The comments detailed in this table were in response to open-ended survey items that allowed respondents to give opinions or suggestions about the center's programming, fees, staff, facilities, and how well it meets the community's needs. To gauge the general sentiment of the responses, each was assigned an analysis category. During analysis, some comments were deemed relevant to multiple open-ended survey items. These responses were copied and assigned to all analysis categories that aligned with their subjects.

This table contains data from the community survey conducted as part of an Audit of the City's Cultural Centers. We surveyed members of the Austin community using a survey developed by the audit team. Survey questions generally asked respondents' opinions on cultural center programs, staff, fees, and facilities. The survey opened January 3 and closed January 27, 2020. Austin community members were invited to take the survey through social media outreach and direct email invitations. The survey and outreach materials were written in English and translated into Spanish, Vietnamese, and Simplified Chinese. A total of 1,330 community members responded to the survey. Respondents were asked only to respond for centers they had visited in the last two years and could respond for more than one center. The comments detailed in this table were in response to open-ended survey items that allowed respondents to give opinions or suggestions about each center's programming, fees, staff, and facilities. Any open-ended responses answered in Spanish, Vietnamese, or Chinese were translated prior to analysis. To gauge the general sentiment of the responses, each was categorized as "Positive," "Negative," "Suggestion," or "N/A." During analysis, some comments were deemed more relevant to other open-ended survey items than the items for which they were originally written. These responses were re-assigned to the survey items that more closely aligned with their subject.

The audit team surveyed City staff from January 29th, 2024 to February 14th, 2024. All employees who received the survey link were eligible to respond. See the full audit report at: https://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Auditor/Audit_Reports/Citywide_Retention_August_2024.pdf
