Citizen Survey Results

In 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2013, 2015 and 2017 the City conducted citizen surveys using the National Citizen Survey (NCS) instrument administered by the NRC. The purpose of conducting the surveys is to obtain statistically valid data concerning resident satisfaction with community amenities and the services provided by local government. The NCS captures residents’ opinions within the three pillars of a community (Community Characteristics, Governance and Participation) across eight central facets of community (Safety, Mobility, Natural Environment, Built Environment, Economy, Recreation and Wellness, Education and Enrichment and Community Engagement).
