Citizen survey to gather feedback

By Linda Petersen
HIGHLAND — The city will be conducting its annual citizen survey in January. Copies of the survey will go out with the city newsletter and can be returned with utility payments or dropped off at City Hall. It can also be taken online through a link on the city website, highlandcity.org.

On the survey, residents are asked to rate city staff and services and to give their opinions on certain issues. They were asked about the Murdock Connector, land use, and zoning. (Public Information Officer Erin Wells said this year's questions have not been finalized. With a new mayor and two new city council members, it's important to address their priorities, she said.)

Last year 1,074 residents responded to the survey; 59 percent filled them out online and 41 percent returned them by mail. While the survey asks some demographic questions, responses are not individually tracked.

"We think it's important to get feedback from our citizens every year about how we are doing," Wells said. "It also helps us prioritize what to work on in the future."

Last year, 70 percent of respondents ranked roads as the most pressing issue city officials should focus on over the next five years. Seventy-six percent said roads need more funding, and 67 percent said they would be likely to support the city in raising funds for them. All city staff and services ranked highly among respondents.

This will be the third year the city has done the survey.
