Commission considers in-person survey at Transfer Station; parade participation left tentative
Summary
After attending an outreach event in Reading, commissioners discussed emulating an in-person clipboard survey—noting an example with an 85% response rate—and left July 5 parade participation conditional on staffing a survey table.
Pamela J. Spaulding and Jennifer Greenfield reported on an outreach event in Reading where organizers achieved high survey returns by collecting responses in person; meeting minutes record that "one of the towns in attendance had done a survey with an 85% return." Commissioners discussed conducting a similar survey at the Transfer Station, where space is available and would not interfere with operations.
Members agreed to bring proposed survey questions to the next meeting under Old Business. The commission also considered whether to participate in the July 5 parade but noted staffing conflicts—Steve is normally on traffic control and Brent is unavailable—so participation would require setting up a staffed table if the commission decided to take part.
