Conclusion <br />Overall the City of Hugo research project was a successful project. The Open <br />House was well attended and was an excellent opportunity to promote parks <br />and recreation efforts in Hugo, as well as to make contacts for the focus <br />groups. <br />The survey was also successful. The response rate of 50% was excellent, <br />especially given that the survey was conducted over the Christmas -New <br />Years holiday season, which generally results in poor response rates. A 50% <br />response rate means that results from the surveys can be used with <br />confidence that they represent a statistically accurate measure of Hugo <br />citizen perceptions and opinions with respect to parks and recreation. <br />The focus group was successful in assessing motivations for why citizens of <br />Hugo feel the way they do about parks and recreation. In the future, focus <br />groups would be more successful if they were kept smaller (8 participants <br />maximum) and if they were run exclusively by an outside facilitator to <br />prevent bias. <br />The results of this report were presented to the Parks and Recreation <br />Committee on February 10, 2010. <br />22 <br />
