Pasco County Launches 2017 Online Citizen Survey

NEW PORT RICHEY, FL – Once again, Pasco County residents can tell government officials their ideas for the county’s future.

Pasco County has launched its annual Citizen Survey, which will be available online through Wednesday, May 31. The survey has been conducted every year since 2009 to solicit feedback from residents on a variety of topics related to the county’s future, including transportation, parks, emergency services and growth.

The survey is intended to help the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners with planning discussions and making decisions. The survey also asks how often residents use Pasco County Government-provided services and solicits feedback on how well the expectations for service delivery are met.

Pasco County received 4,642 responses to the 2016 Online Citizen Survey, which was an increase of 250 percent form 2015.

“We had an incredible response to the Online Citizen Survey last year,” said Dr. Marc Bellas, the organizational performance management director for Pasco County. “The survey is a way for residents to be part of the decision-making process. It’s vital for the board to know what issues are important to our (residents).”

To take the survey, residents can visit the Pasco County website at www.pascocountyfl.net and click on the survey link on the homepage. Or, residents can go directly to the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2017PascoCitizenSurvey.

Results from previous Citizen Surveys can be found at http://www.pascocountyfl.net/Archive.aspx?AMID=72.

In addition to the survey, listening sessions and social media, Pasco County residents can send feedback any time through the county’s website Customer Comment Card at http://fl-pascocounty.civicplus.com/FormCenter/County-Commissioners-25/Customer-Comment-Card-56 or by sending an e-mail to customerservice@pascocountyfl.net.
