2018 Highland City Resident Survey
For the past three years, Highland City Council and Staff have conducted an annual resident survey. The survey is designed to find out how the City is doing and what residents think about certain issues. Last year’s survey results were used to guide City Council during their decisions regarding Road Funding. In addition, the City learned that residents were supportive of all the changes that took place at the Library during 2016 as the percent of individuals who ranked the Library as “Good” or “Excellent” rose nearly 30%.
Gathering and using resident opinions is invaluable to Highland City. When you tell us what you think, even more positive changes can happen! As always, your responses WILL NOT be individually tracked and all data collected will be analyzed as a whole. None of the questions are required, so only answer the ones you want.
Responses are due by February 28. If you have any questions or concerns about the survey, please contact Erin Wells at (801)772-4566.
