I support Anne’s view. The survey assumes that a community center will be built, and will be built at the Hartwell campus. The only place to offer a dissenting view was at the end, where it said something like “Briefly, what is the one thing you’d like us to know.” The words ”briefly” and “one” are telling. Hardly an invitation for extensive comments or their justification. In that section I wrote a couple of sentences – I hope that was brief enough. I asked the CCBC to consider other locations, such as the empty spaces at the Mall or the possibility of building new space there. I agree that the CCBC needs to know how strongly the community supports the proposed center. I think it would be helpful also to have a question about support of a center at another site or locating different activities and services at different sites. This could be a list of possible options which people could rate from 1 to 5.

Krystal - there is pretty widespread concern about this survey. Nowhere on it is there a question about whether the person taking it wants the community center at all. Every question assumes it will be built. The o my place to register dissatisfaction is the blank section at the end for additional comments. Also, we have heard that the CCBC is presuming that if people do not answer the survey that they support the center. This is very far from being the truth. People who don’t fill out the survey may not do so because they are opposed or don’t care, but they certainly should not be assumed to support it. The only way to correct this situation is for the CCBC to send out a second, separate survey that asks people to say, on a scale of 1-10, how much they support the center at all. Or, it could simply be a multiple choice: do you support the center or not or are you neutral? Without this additional data, the first survey must be disregarded. - Sent from iPhone. Typed by thumb.
