Redington Shores tables $9,000 community survey proposal pending homestead-exemption vote
Summary
Town Manager Margaret Carey proposed an Onpoint Insights community survey (estimated $9,000, eight-week process) to run in August during the Town Picnic; the board unanimously agreed to table the proposal until a decision is made on a proposed constitutional amendment to increase the homestead exemption.
Town Manager Margaret Carey proposed at the June 24 workshop that the town hire Onpoint Insights to run a community survey starting in August so it would be live during the annual Town Picnic. Carey said the survey would collect demographic information (age, district, length of residency, family size), that the vendor assists with question preparation, and estimated the cost at $9,000. She described the process as taking about eight weeks — four to prepare and four to be open.
Commissioners discussed ways to incentivize responses and raising the possibility of negotiating a reduced price. The board reached unanimous consensus to table the survey decision until a determination is made on a proposed constitutional amendment to increase the homestead exemption; the transcript records the outcome as a unanimous consensus but does not record a formal motion, mover, or vote tally.
