I am the person in my household who most recently had a birthday, but I am not very informed about the issues covered in the survey. Can I give the survey to someone else in my household who is more informed?

We would prefer that you complete the survey. The "birthday method" described in the letter creates the most representative sample of our jurisdiction. You'll be surprised at how much you can contribute.

I doubt that you are interested in my opinion, since I rarely leave my [nursing] home. Should I really complete the survey?

Yes, the government is here to serve all residents, and it is important to us that we get feedback from a complete cross-section of our residents.

I live in Tualatin and would like to know how many people in Tualatin have tested positive for COVID19.

Public Health does not release that level of demographic information about the patients.

It is safe to assume the virus is spreading throughout the county, region and country. All residents, regardless of where they live, are urged to comply with the governor’s Stay Home, Save Lives executive order.

For additional information, please see the Oregon Health Authority website (click here).

I received your survey, and while I own property that it was sent to, I don't live there. What should I do?

The resident of the property should complete the survey. 

Category: Community Survey
I was not sent a survey, but would be happy to complete one, and I think you should be interested in my opinion.

The sample was designed to be as representative as possible of the population of our city, so by sending copies of the survey to people who request a copy, we would skew the sample and make the results less meaningful. 

Category: Community Survey
If I filled out the survey when I first received it, should I fill it out again now that I have received a second copy?

No, please don't fill it out again. Because responses are anonymous, we don't know who already completed a survey. Since we only want one response from each person, those who already sent in a survey should not return another one. The second copy is distributed as a reminder to all people selected to be sent a survey. Thank you for completing the first survey.

If my business is closed, can I still go to work if my employer tells me to do so?

While the order prohibits people from congregating at a closed business, the employer may still have work to do on site. As long as employees are not conducting work that is prohibited by the Executive Order, it is okay to still be at the worksite. No paperwork or documentation is required.

Is the City of Tualatin setting up a homeless camp?

No. State and federal law now provide that when there is no alternative shelter available for a person experiencing homelessness, it is illegal for Oregon cities and counties to punish the person for camping on public property. We are creating time, place, and manner regulations that would apply in those situations.
