City of Bend launches phone, community surveys to help councilors set goals for the next two years

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The City of Bend is launching a survey to gather community feedback on priorities and direction for the next two years.

The community survey intends to get a sense of how Bend residents perceive city services and to assess what City services the community prioritizes. Community participation will help the city set priorities and will be presented to the Bend City Council as they embark on their next round of biennial goal-setting.

The survey began on Monday, Dec. 2 with calls and texts asking participants to answer questions about the city and city services.

Also, for those who don’t get randomly chosen for a call, a similar online Community Survey begins Monday, Dec. 9, so everyone can have an opportunity to provide input.

The online survey will be available in English and Spanish. Online survey results will complement the representative phone survey and will also be shared with the City Council.

The online survey is available at bendoregon.gov.
