Commissioners debate QR-code outreach, survey integrity for comprehensive plan
Summary
Advocates proposed QR-code outreach at the farm show to boost responses to the county's comprehensive-plan survey; commissioners pressed staff on screening methods for duplicates and nonresident responses and scheduled the consultant to explain procedures at the next meeting.
At the May 9 meeting, advocates for solar development asked permission to post a QR code at a farm show to increase participation in the county's comprehensive-plan survey; commissioners agreed the outreach idea could proceed but asked staff to confirm screening measures.
Alyssa Rhodes (S8) said the farm show would draw thousands and asked to place a QR code and sign at a table so attendees could complete the survey. Commissioners and staff discussed concerns about nonresident or duplicate responses; staff (S1 and S5) said the consultant will be asked at Tuesday's meeting to describe the survey's screening (IP address checks and duplicate detection) and to explain how responses can be segmented by district.
Commissioners noted only about 1,000 survey responses had been received so far and said additional outreach could be helpful if appropriate safeguards are in place. No formal policy change on survey distribution was made; the commission requested that the consultant provide details about response validation and the consultant's timeline.
