Administrative           Unanimous vote to approve minutes of 12/13/2021 as presented.

 

Survey:                       Question-by-question review/edit of draft housing survey.

 

General discussion about how to distribute/promote the survey.

 

Distribute:

 

The Town expects to mail the annual census the third week of January. The town allows committees to include surveys in the census mailing. The entire census mailing cannot exceed 4-5 pages. Multiple committees use surveys. So far, only the PHPPC has asked to include a survey in 2022 and can insert the existing 4-page (2 sheets) survey.

 

If PHPPC is not the only entity asking to distribute a survey in the census, an alternate way to distribute may be needed:

 

  • Enclose a card pointing to an online survey. 
  • Finance (using CMRPC funds) an independent mailing.

 

TO DO: Deb Cary will investigate the cost to do an independent mailing.

 

Promote:

 

Emily will create a poster advertising the survey to be printed for CoA, the library, Monte’s Market, etc., posted online on NextDoor and Facebook, and as a banner ad in Google.

 

Other promotion opportunities: Town web page, Redemption Rock News, CoA newsletter.

 

Next Meeting: Monday, January 10, 2022, 1:00 GoToMeeting
