RESULTS of COMMUNITY SURVEY on BUDGET PRIORITIES August 28, 2010 - In developing the 2011 City Budget, the City Council and City staff recognized that certain difficult financial decisions would need to be made in order to create a balanced budget without requiring any tax increases. It was decided that public input was critical to guide the City in this challenging process, in order to better understand community priorities. Several methods were initiated to solicit this public input; these included conducting a town meeting on the budget and City Council members attending the Farmers' Market on several Saturdays to solicit feedback on the budget.......
A total of over 1400 survey forms were completed, which represents about 15% of the total households in Port Angeles. This included 998 responses from the utility bill insert, 382 responses on-line, and 82 responses to the printed survey forms. This is an excellent response rate and confirms the high level of interest that local citizens have in their city government. With this high level of response, the priorities that have been identified will be very useful to the City Council and City staff in the development of the 2011 Budget.......
City Council will be discussing the results of the survey at their special meeting on Tuesday, August 31 at 6:00 p.m.
