(Oct. 6, 2016) A survey drafted by the Ocean Pines Association Comprehensive Planning Committee is online and viewable to the public.
What will happen to the document, which is intended to gather data for a new comprehensive plan, has yet to be decided.
The survey, along with the Sept. 15 meeting minutes, a PowerPoint presentation and a committee-approved comprehensive plan outline, were sent to the seven OPA Board members last month.
According to the PowerPoint, the committee is seeking board action on “approval, or board-approved changes, to the committee recommendations,” as well as $300 to sign up for the online polling program, SurveyMonkey Gold.
The committee hopes to use SurveyMonkey to push the questionnaire communitywide. The tool would host the survey and provide some analysis based on the answers to multiple-choice questions, while the committee would have to analyze written answers to the survey questions.
Several of the questions include blank text fields for additional comments.
Committee recommendations included using email blasts to send the survey to people in Ocean Pines, as well as limiting responses to one per email address. The target response rate is 20 percent.
After 30 days, the committee would “close and compile information” from the survey.
According to Board President Tom Herrick, “The recommendations from the committee will be an agenda item for board discussion during the next board working session scheduled for Oct. 17.”
