Town of Parsonsfield: TextMyGov text messaging survey
1.
Do you have a cell phone with text messaging?
Yes definitely! I use text messaging all the time!
Yes, but I don't use text messaging a lot.
I have a cell phone, but cannot text.
I do not have a cell phone.
I have a cell phone but would never use this.
2.
Would you use a text messaging system to get automated information from the Town of Parsonsfield?
Example: You’re going to work early in the morning and need to register your car but can’t remember the hours of the Town office. You can send a text message to Parsonsfield's TextMyGov dedicated number and ask the Town Office hours for the day. You will automatically receive a response that provides the Town Office hours.
Example: There was a storm last night and for some reason your road hasn’t been plowed and can’t remember who your contractor is that plows your road. You text Parsonsfield's TextMyGov dedicated number and ask who your plow contactor is. You will automatically get a response with the plow contractor map and contractor phone numbers.
Yes definitely!
No, I would not use this at all.
I may use it once in awhile, maybe twice a year.
3.
Would you use a text messaging system to report issues and send photos of an issue to the Town. Issues could be but not limited to road maintenance, plowing, animal control, code enforcement, etc?
Examples: you see a loose dog and want to notify and send a picture to the ACO and the Town office. There is a big pothole, and you want to notify and send a picture to the Road Commissioner and Town office.
Yes definitely!
No I would not use this at all.
I may use it once in awhile, maybe twice a year.
4.
Would you sign up to receive notifications from the Town office on town meetings, election information, events at the Town office, emergency closures, trash pickup changes, etc.
Yes definitely! This is great!
No, I would not sign up for this.
Maybe
5.
Would you use this text messaging system to report road concerns to the Road Commissioner and include a photo?
Example: Big rain storm, lots of flooding and washouts. You have a big washout on your road. You send a text to the Town’s TextMyGov dedicated number at 6AM before you go to work. It automatically responds with a series of simple questions to collect your name and address and at the end, you can send a picture of the damage. This text information goes directly to the Road Commissioner as a text message and/or email and generates an email to the Town office, including all the information provided and a picture.
Yes definitely!
I would rather just call the Town Office during normal business hours and report it.
No I wouldn't use this at all.
6.
If there was an emergency on the road you live on, or if there was a major road construction that would affect your commute or access to your home, would you want to receive a text message notification?
Example: There is a culvert on your road that is getting replaced and will be shutdown for 2 hours, would you want to be notified by text message from the Town?
Yes definitely!
No, I wouldn't want to be notified.
Maybe
7.
There is a huge snowstorm, the Town office will be closed due to the storm. Would you want to receive a text message on the closure?
Yes definitely!
No, I do not want a text message notification on closures.
I would just check the local TV stattion closures, Town facebook page or website. A text message is not necessary.
8.
The trash contractors truck broke down on pickup day. Trash pickup will be reschedule until that following Monday. Do you want a text message notification on trash pickup changes?
Yes definitely.
No, I would not want a notification on trash pickup changes.
I would just call the Town office when its open, I do think a text message is necessary.
I would check the facebook or website, I do not think a text message is necessary.
9.
Would you support the Town spending $3,000 the 1st year, and then $2,000 each following year for the TextMyGov service? The 1st year cost could be paid by the Town's ARPA funds.
Yes definitely, well worth it!
No way, keep everything the same. No text message service.
I prefer just checking the website, facebook or calling the Town office if I want information.
