There should be some data to review by next meeting. After this pilot is completed, they will do some tweaking of the survey if needed, and then roll out to a larger group throughout the county. The survey will initially be on paper but eventually may be available electronically. The plan is get this to various demographics and random samplings with the goal of determining the biggest need in St. Croix County in order to provide the most appropriate programming.
