However,even though all five responded,we ultimately <br /> decided not to include their results in the report. <br /> Survey response <br /> Of the 45 surveyed governments,42 responded,for a 93 percent response rate. <br /> Response validation <br /> For those governments that responded that they posted reports on their permit review time <br /> performance,we obtained the posted reports and reviewed them against the required elements in state <br /> law.However,we did not test one of the required elements- variance of actual performance-because <br /> we found the meaning of this element to be ambiguous.We also searched the public websites of the <br /> three governments that did not respond to our survey to see if they posted reports.All did so,and we <br /> reviewed those we found. <br /> Growth Management Act Appendix B f 55 <br />
