This report has been created by CoMission for the City of Sebastopol to outline the results of the Business Survey and offer potential actions to identified challenges. Throughout the report, notable trends emerge that reflect the business community’s sentiments as well as their operational status. In some cases, questions and answers provide meaningful insight on the impacts of the pandemic both in terms of pre and post intervention (pandemic related challenges) as well as direct responses toward potential paradigm shifts. Using both qualitative and quantitative measurements the resulting data will be useful in continuing to address the needs and desires of Sebastopol’s business community while driving at longer-term consensus-based recommendations. Additionally, CoMission has provided emergency business support calls for those businesses who responded in the survey requesting assistance in accessing federal funds or navigating pandemic restrictions and reopening orders.
