PTC wants survey resultsFri, 01/29/2010 - 3:19pm
By: John Munford
Residents and business owners are being encouraged to respond to a survey initiated by Peachtree City staff. Among the questions on the residential survey, the most telling answers might be found on the section about the 2010-2011 budget, which is facing a potential $3 million shortfall. The survey asks if residents would prefer to cut services and avoid a tax increase; retain existing services and increase taxes “as needed” or a combination of both: cutting some services to reduce a tax increase. Residents are also asked that if taxes were to increase, what is the maximum they would consider ranging from .25 mills (equivalent to $25 a year on a home valued at $250,000), 1 mill ($100 on the same home) or “as high as required.” The survey also asks residents to rank a priority listing of services that should be considered for cuts. The options listed include: • The library • Path maintenance • Public swimming pools (Glenloch and Kedron) • The amphitheater • Sports fields • Special events (such as Shakerag, July 4th) • Right of way maintenance • Recreation classes • The Gathering Place • Kedron Fieldhouse and multipurpose skating rink • Subdivision entrance landscaping • Street resurfacing and maintenance The surveys have been mailed out to residents and also may be taken online via the city’s website at www.peachtree-city.org. The survey also inquires about satisfaction levels with a variety of city services, perception on safety, and residents’ shopping habits both here, in Coweta County, in Atlanta and online. login to post comments |
