City of Columbia to ask for feedback on City issues, services with a community survey

(COLUMBIA, MO)- The City of Columbia's community survey has been mailed to a random sample of households in the community to ask for feedback on a wide range of City services and issues. The survey ensures that the City's priorities are in step with the needs of Columbia residents.

"This feedback is invaluable; it directly informs how the City sets priorities and ensures our resources are focused on the issues that matter most to residents," said City Manager De'Carlon Seewood. "Taking a few minutes to complete the survey helps us build a more responsive and representative Columbia for everyone."

The surveys will include postage-paid return envelopes, and individual responses will remain confidential. The return address on the envelope will be for ETC Institute, the consultant that has conducted Columbia's community surveys since 2003. Community members may also see the survey advertised online.

In addition to the feedback provided by residents, ETC Institute's team of researchers will provide the City with comparative data from other local governments across the country.

ETC Institute will share the results with the City Council in a public work session in the future.
