In designing the multi-purpose room, it is important to know how the room will be used. What types of meetings or events do you believe the room should be configured to accommodate? (Select all that apply.)

Response Percent Response Count
Board room-style meetings with people seated at tables in a large U or square shape 81.8% 27

Because the building must be built above ground on pilings, we have an opportunity to use the shaded space below part of the building. What would you like to see in that space? (Check all that apply.)

Understanding that the project is constrained by the available space and budget, do you have any suggestions for how to improve the proposed design?

    Thank you for the nice presentation. While I can understand folks wanting to get an island theme (key west), mixing it up design may be well received. One only has to do driving tour of the community to see the variety of design across Tierra Verde. I have been involved with this project for a number of years, and would available to volunteer in whatever capacity necessary to help bring this project to completion. Thank you again for your hard work.

Open Pinellas is not a certified voting system or ballot box. As with any public comment process, participation in Open Pinellas is voluntary. The responses in this record are not necessarily representative of the whole population, nor do they reflect the opinions of any government agency or elected officials.

This is the form that was used to collect responses. It's here so you can try it and see how it worked when the topic was open.

What are my options to participate?

Open Pinellas has two participation channels:

  • The Registered Channel: Sign in before or just after you submit your response. Either way, Community Feedback will show your response on this website.
  • The Unregistered Channel: Don't sign in and remain anonymous. Community Feedback will just share your response with Pinellas County staff.

Note: The first time you sign in, you'll need to register (establish an account on Open Pinellas). Registration is free.

Why do I need to sign in to show my response on this website?

Pinellas County has contracted with Community Feedback to monitor responses shown on this website.

  • To prevent any single user from dominating the forum, Pinellas County restricts the number of responses any one user can post on selected topics. Registration helps Community Feedback enforce this restriction.
  • Users, staff and government leaders often want to know the neighborhood from which a response is posted. Community Feedback uses registration to show the neighborhood next to each response (not the address).
  • If a user posts a response that does not meet Pinellas County guidelines for civility, Community Feedback uses the user's email address to invite the user to resolve the issue.
I'm concerned about privacy. Who will get my contact information and what will they use it for?

Community Feedback will get your contact information. The company is under contract with Pinellas County to hold it in strict confidence per their privacy policy.

What other benefits do I get from signing in?
  • Since you'll see your own response on Open Pinellas, you'll be able to confirm that your response was posted as you intended.
  • You'll be able to change and/or delete your response as long as the topic is open.
I'm still very concerned about privacy. Is there a way for me to submit a response without registering?

Yes. Sign out, then set your privacy preference to be "No - just show it without my name to staff". You won't need to register.

What prevents an unregistered user from submitting multiple anonymous responses?

While no authentication procedure can perfectly detect every fraudulent registration, Community Feedback is able to secure the registered channel against systematic fraud: cases where users submit enough statements with fraudulent registrations to sway the overall interpretation of the feedback.

Community Feedback is unable to secure the unregistered channel against systematic fraud, because unregistered users are anonymous.

Neither the registered nor the unregistered channel represent a certified voting system or ballot box - and that caveat is footnoted on every page of feedback. Instead, both are additional channels for feedback to government.

Why are there two participation channels?

Users can participate on the registered channel (by signing in) or on the unregistered channel (by remaining anonymous). Pinellas County offers both channels in order to broaden participation and maximize decision makers' insights.

The registered channel enables users to assure decision makers that their feedback comes from a real person in a specific neighborhood. It also enables users to participate in a public discussion on the website, as well as manage their own response after posting it.

The unregistered channel is for users who want to provide quick feedback without registering, and/or whose privacy concerns would prevent them from participating if required to register. Because many users with valuable insights will only share them anonymously, this channel gives decision makers the option to consider those insights in their deliberations.

What is OpenGov?

OpenGov is a non-partisan company whose mission is to broaden civic engagement and build public trust in government. Pinellas County has contracted with OpenGov to administer Open Pinellas.
