Planning Board <br />16 Great Neck Road North <br />Nashpee, Nassachusetts 02649 <br />that increase, we end up at the top end of our budget with $3,000 remaining. He is concerned about <br />developing paper survey with money for postage and printing. Their response rate for paper surveys is <br />2%. His concern is to spend all that money on mailing and printing when there will be limited <br />responses. He might suggest as an alternative, they do online as planned, but he does a mailing from <br />his office with all the information, or his information to be able to request a paper survey and he could <br />print on demand from his office. Copies could also be left at the Public Library or the Senior Center. It <br />will save us the money. <br />Mr. Balzarini would like to put an ad in the paper to advertise the survey for a couple weeks. <br />Ms. Waygan noted having them on display at places people frequent because they don't have <br />computers. We might be able to send them out with meals on wheels. <br />Mr. Richardson commented 2% is ridiculous, people are busy today. <br />Mr. Fulone asked if a couple of laptops could be set up at the Southport event so people can fill it out <br />there. <br />Mr. Lehrer stated he could even host a survey event with pizza and set up laptops where people come <br />and take it at the Senior Center. He is more than happy to get paper copies in people's hands, he just <br />wants to avoid the mail with added costs. <br />Ms. Waygan asked for Public Comment and recognized Lynne Barbee. <br />Lynne Barbee- She volunteers to sit at the Library or Senior Center at designated times and give <br />people surveys and have them fill them out there. She also thinks Oktoberfest could host a table. The <br />School Committee, there may be parents who don't have high speed internet and want a copy. She <br />assumes they will all be in English. Mr. Lehrer stated they could even send them home with the <br />children. Through PTA or School Committee get the word out to people. <br />Mr. Balzarini suggested they incentivize the survey for parents of school aged children, they can get a <br />free ice cream cone at the Polar Cave. <br />Mr. Lehrer needs to work on incentives for the survey as well. <br />Ms. Waygan turned the discussion back to the Board. She noted Mr. Fulone had some questions <br />regarding the survey questions. <br />Mr. Fulone noted most of this is intended for Mr. Martin, but he inquired about question three, in some <br />places we use descriptors and in other places we don't. Is there a reason for that or should we be <br />consistent. For example, we say rural character of the town, but should it just read character. Another <br />example, we say small town lifestyle, should we just say lifestyle. There are places where we say traffic <br />11 <br />
