Several residents requested an electronic format of the <br />survey, which was provided to them via email. The electronic surveys were filled out and <br />returned to Land Design Partners. <br />Questions contained within the mail -out survey were identical to those asked during the <br />intercept survey. Again, this allowed the project team to compare answers on similar questions <br />to verify that we were receiving a consistent message. <br />In all, +/- 705 residents were represented in the user surveys that were received by January 1, <br />2009; including surveys received from residents attending the public meetings. No surveys or <br />mail -outs were conducted after that date. <br />Stakeholder Interviews <br />Face -to -face interviews were conducted with City of San Marcos officials, University officials <br />and associated agency directors and staff to gauge the current state of the San Marcos Parks, as <br />well as understand their goals for the future. Responses within each of the following five <br />categories are listed in priority order. <br />From an administrative standpoint, the most common issues facing the park system are: <br />1. Finance /Funding <br />2. Environmental Issues /Concerns <br />3. Maintenance /Safety <br />4. Sustainability /Long -Range Planning <br />68 <br />
