The Loma Linda City Council voted to appropriate $40,000 from general fund reserves and authorized a contract award to the National Research Center (Polco) to conduct a citywide community survey.

City manager reported the council’s February direction to prepare an RFP had resulted in two proposals; the selection committee recommended the National Research Center at a cost of $36,000 plus a $4,000 contingency for a total request of $40,000. The survey is intended to gather feedback from residents, students, workers and visitors about satisfaction with city services and priorities for future planning.

A councilmember noted it has been roughly 20 years since the city last ran a similar survey. Council moved and approved the appropriation and contract award; the clerk recorded the motion as carried.
