Dear Business Leaders,

We need to hear from you! We ask that you please take part in this survey, which will be critical in relaying information to our County Health Director - and help provide business driven guidance on the best reopening practices and ideas in your industry.

Our objectives are: 1) to identify needs from businesses in our community across industry sectors; 2) better assess appropriate business resources; and 3) gather recommendations from you about how our county can best respond to our local business needs.

Your feedback is critical and will help us focus our resources and response where it is most needed. The survey should take fewer than 5-7 minutes to complete. Responses will be reported in aggregate. Working together as a community, we can help foster workable guidelines that take into consideration the needs of business.

Sincerely,

Mayor, Randy Johnson
Vice Mayor, Derek Timm
The City of Scotts Valley Local Business Recovery Committee
