Citizen Budget Survey

The Fiscal Year 2019-20 Budget process is underway with the completion of the Citizen Budget Survey.  As a part of the budget development process, the City's Budget Office conducted a survey of residents in November and December of 2018.  This gave residents a chance to voice their opinions on various topics related to Quality of Life, Return on Tax Dollars, and Citizen Satisfaction with Overall City Services, as well as "Areas of Interest" including Transportation, Public Safety, Leisure/Cultural/Education, City Utilities, and General Services.  The results were compiled and presented to Mayor and the members of City Council at the Budget Kickoff Thursday, January 24, 2019, for consideration.
