Committee polling and surveys show best-laid plans can diverge from public priorities
Summary
Live polling and prior surveys revealed a gap: committee priorities emphasized operational efficiency and fewer transitions, while broader community responses prioritized cost, then safety and maintaining existing buildings.
The steering committee used live polling (QR code and website) and reviewed results from a broader community survey to compare internal priorities with public sentiment.
Presenter said committee priorities included operational efficiency, safe and modern facilities, and reducing transitions. By contrast, the broader survey ranked cost first, followed by safety and maintaining existing buildings; this prompted committee members to acknowledge the need to center messaging and planning on affordability. Attendees also raised procedural concerns about polling design, including the absence of a '0' option on the maximum-bond-support question.
