Survey <br />findings provide valuable context to inform City decision-making, service delivery, and future initiatives. <br />The 2025 results show increasing trust in local government, strong perceptions of economic vitality, and <br />continued high marks for inclusiveness and community engagement, with several measures improving <br />compared to prior survey years, including perceptions of overall direction, transparency and civic <br />engagement. Public safety and core infrastructure remain important areas of focus, even as the results <br />remain generally in line with national benchmarks. <br />Survey results also reflect differences in perceptions across demographic groups, including age, income, <br />race and ethnicity, and length of residency. These findings are based on a statistically valid survey of <br />randomly selected households. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Receive the results from the 2025 Community Satisfaction Survey. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN GUIDING PRINCIPLE <br />Excellence in Government Operations <br />11.A. - Page 1 of 43 <br />135
