Community Citizen Survey
In our continuing efforts to receive valuable input from our residents and to improve customer service, we will be conducting a Citizen Survey during the month of April.
The survey is designed to provide us with an accurate, affordable and easy way to assess and interpret our residents’ opinions about important community issues and City services. The City Council will use the results as they consider future goals and priorities.
Participating households will be selected at random and multiple mailings will give each household more than one chance to participate.
If you are chosen to participate in the survey process, please take the time to do so. Your input is crucial as we plan for our present and future.
