Planning Commission readies town survey; asks Select Board to confirm $2,000 mailing support
Summary
The Planning Commission is finalizing a household survey as part of a two-year town plan update and expects to mail a multi-page survey to all households; commissioners asked the board for guidance on whether the $2,000 budgeted in the fiscal year will cover mailing and printing costs and to confirm whether to use first-class or bulk mailing.
Gail Hurd told the board the Planning Commission has drafted a household survey to gather residents' viewpoints for a town plan revision and that the document will be posted on the town website and mailed to every household. She said the survey will likely be four double-sided pages and that volunteers will help fold and stuff envelopes for mailing.
Board members discussed the estimated cost of printing and postage, whether to include return envelopes, and whether to use bulk versus first-class mailing after some past problems with bulk mail reliability. Hurd said she would email the regional planner (Katie) for a cost estimate, and the board asked the clerk to provide a printing/mailing cost estimate so the $2,000 in the coming fiscal year can be allocated appropriately.
