She will review the rankings of each of the items surveyed. The Quality of Life survey was made available to citizens for six weeks and closed on Monday, March 16. It was advertised on our city website (home page), on multiple social media posts (Facebook and Twitter), in our March utility bill (as a stand-alone insert), in our March -April City Newsletter (mailed to all residents), our weekly e -news and at the Library and Senior Activities Center. We had more than 1,790 completed surveys and this survey had the most participation (completed surveys) of all citizen surveys. 4/2/2015 3:23:21 PM Quality of Life Survey 2015 Since 2006, the City of Grapevine has allocated a portion of sales tax to Quality of Life projects in Grapevine. In the past, these capital (or non-recurring) expenditures have been used for Parks & Recreation projects such as Oak Grove Ballfield Complex, Casey's Clubhouse, Dove Pool renovation, Bellaire Park and other projects such as backlit street signs, outdoor emergency sirens and emergency traffic preemption. As some of these needs have been met, we'd like to inquire about your thoughts on appropriate use for these capital funds. Please tell us what you consider to be Quality of Life expenditures. NOTE: Keep in mind, these sales tax funds are current revenues and DO NOT require a tax increase. 1.
