Appendix A: Survey Summary <br />To kick-start the planning process, City staff and the consultant team developed a survey that was <br />electronically distributed to City Council and the Parks and Public Landscapes Advisory Board (PPLAB). <br />Although not all members completed the survey, the answers to the survey provided the consultant <br />team with a snapshot of existing perceptions and expectations. The following information contains a <br />consolidated summary of survey findings: <br />1. The number of parks and amount of space is the most compelling attribute of the City's park <br />system. <br />2. Lack of systematic maintenance is a concern, as well as some concern about ensuring that trained <br />people are engaged in specific maintenance tasks. <br />3. Mowing is a concern: some residents would like to see more, and some residents would like to see <br />less. <br />4. There is a desire/need to address and implement water conservation measures by reducing need <br />for irrigation (xeriscaping). <br />5. The need for a management and maintenance plan is apparent and desired. <br />6. PPLAB would like more information regarding budgets allocated to parks maintenance. <br />7. There are differing views regarding current maintenance of parks, which range from "great" and <br />"fantastic" to "not meeting expectations." <br />8. There is a desire/need for reporting of standardized Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). <br />City of Louisville Parks Department January 16, 2023 <br />Summary of Findings Page A-1 <br />
