Board discusses timing and $60K–$70K budget estimate for next community survey
Summary
Directors debated when to schedule the next community survey and noted prior surveys were multi‑year efforts costing roughly $60,000–$70,000; staff and directors suggested budgeting in 2027 with execution in 2028 to align with strategic planning.
Board members discussed the next community survey and its timing during the Committee of the Whole, with directors and staff reiterating a five‑year cadence and noting cost implications.
One director recalled the prior survey cost “like a $60,000 number,” and a staff member responded that it was “close to 70” and was split across two fiscal years. Directors suggested budgeting for the survey in 2027 if the association wants execution in 2028, and some asked for a working group to advise any future consultant so the survey’s design would be valid and reliable.
Members also discussed whether the community survey should precede or inform the next strategic plan, with some arguing that survey data would make the strategic plan’s goals more representative of member priorities. Staff agreed they would present options and cost estimates for board consideration as part of the calendar work they will return with in June.
