IronOaks usage survey
The Board and management have asked the Homeowner Feedback Committee to develop a survey for homeowners to determine how many times homeowners use the various amenities and common areas. This information will assist them in establishing goals and making decisions. (This is different from the annual Homeowner Survey which assesses the progress toward the Master Plan goals which will be distributed in early 2015).
The survey was sent out to those homeowners signed up for Stay in the Loop. Paper copies for those who do not have computer access are available at the Ironwood and Oakwood Clubhouses.
Your input is wanted and needed. The deadline to turn in the survey is November 7.
