New Braunfels officials have extended the deadline to submit responses for a National Community Survey after technical issues affected the number of residents able to complete the online version of the survey.
In working with the contractor tasked with the survey, the issue has been remedied, city officials said.
The deadline has been extended by two weeks past its previous deadline of March 2 to 11:59 p.m. March 16, according to an email from city officials. The new timeline aims to give more residents the ability to complete the survey.
In case you missed it
About 6,000 households have been randomly selected, receiving invitations by mail to participate in the survey, which gathers feedback on topics including public safety, transportation, economic health and overall community livability, according to a news release.
In addition to the mailed survey, all New Braunfels residents can participate through an online version. Offering both options allows the city to collect statistically reliable data while also giving more residents the chance to share their input, the release states.
The survey also asks residents to evaluate city services such as:
- Police
- Fire
- Streets
- Parks
- Libraries
The results help city staff and elected leaders better understand community priorities and assess how well current services meet residents’ needs, the release states.
This marks the seventh time New Braunfels has conducted the survey in the past 15 years, allowing the city to track trends in resident satisfaction over time.
Stay tuned
Survey results will be analyzed and presented to the City Council later this year, according to the release.
