The Capital Improvement Committee of Tahlequah is gearing up for a significant community survey aimed at gathering vital demographic data from residents. During a recent meeting, members discussed the potential structure of the survey, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that participants feel their responses will remain anonymous.

Committee members highlighted the option for residents to take the survey via a QR code, which could either be open to all or require registration to confirm voter status. This dual approach aims to balance accessibility with the need for accurate demographic information. "We want them to think that you’re not gonna be tracked by your answers," one member noted, stressing the importance of participant comfort.

The survey will include questions about residency and voting habits, with plans to refine the process based on initial feedback. Members also discussed the possibility of collecting email addresses to facilitate follow-up surveys, ensuring that responses are limited to one per participant.

While the committee has yet to finalize the survey details, the discussions indicate a strong commitment to engaging the community and gathering meaningful insights. The next meeting will focus on solidifying the survey's structure and outreach strategies, setting the stage for a more informed approach to capital improvements in Tahlequah.
