Council authorizes community survey to track residents' priorities
Summary
Council approved a contract to conduct a citywide community survey to measure resident priorities and satisfaction with services; some councilors urged tighter scope and questioned budget trade-offs.
Staff asked the council to authorize a citywide community survey performed by Wrovsky Research to assess resident priorities and satisfaction with city services. City manager and staff said the contract would repeat many standard questions asked in prior surveys to track trend lines and add a few targeted questions about current issues.
Councilors debated whether the survey should wait until previously established goals are met and whether the consultant line-item budget should be reallocated; staff said some existing contracted items would need adjustment if the council wanted to repurpose those funds. After discussion, council approved the survey contract on a roll call with one dissent.
