Pinellas County
citizens survey opens online and on the go

Got
two minutes to help shape the future of Pinellas County?

Residents
can take a brief online survey to share their vision about what is good and
what needs improvement in Pinellas County. How do people’s priorities align
with present realities? What do they want the county to be like in five years?

As
the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners continues to set a strategic
direction for the community, feedback from the survey will help set priorities
that align with the vision of the citizens they serve.

Citizens
can take the survey from 9 a.m. Monday, Feb. 25, to 5 p.m. Friday, March 1.

The
survey has gone mobile this year and is accessible at www.pinellascounty.org/mobile.
The survey can also be found on the Pinellas County website at www.pinellascounty.org.

“The
online survey is one of the tools we are using during the initial phase of
prioritizing for the next year’s budget and as we continue to set long-range
strategic direction this feedback will guide us toward a vision the community
shares,” said Pinellas County Administrator Bob LaSala. “It is absolutely
necessary to gather this feedback in order to learn the goals of the residents
as individuals and then ultimately as a community.”

This
is the third year that the county commission has collected input from residents
with an online survey. It follows a statistically valid phone survey that was
taken during the past month which targeted a cross-section of the county’s
residents. The results of both surveys will be posted online once the
information is compiled.

Another
opportunity to offer feedback and interact with the county commissioners is
coming up on Wednesday, April 10, from 5:30 to 8 p.m., when the Pinellas County
2014 Budget Community Forum is held at the Seminole campus of St. Petersburg
College in the Digitorium. An open house and eTownHall will give officials and
residents a chance to talk about budget issues and the future of the community.
