Council Priorities and City Direction
Several questions were asked regarding the opinion of residents on how well Council priorities were met and
what direction the City was headed. The following graphs represent the data for Council priority ratings, getting
their money’s worth from tax dollars, tax levels for services received, and the overall direction for the City.
Residents were asked to rate how well Council is meeting their priorities. The top rated priorities are
convention and tourism, cultural, recreational and learning opportunities, grow and diversify the economy, and
vibrant downtown. The lowest rated priorities are flooding and erosion, enhance and preserve neighborhoods,
and mobility and transportation.
