La Mesa citizen survey results are in
Every two years, the La Mesa City Council utilizes a phone survey to evaluate how citizens feel about services provided by the City. The survey results, along with information from annual Town Hall meetings, influence the biennial budget and city staff’s work plan in order to focus resources where residents say they are needed most.
On March 19 the results of the 2015 survey were given to the City Council at their annual Strategic Planning Workshop. A few highlights, according to a city press release, include:
- 90 percent of residents in La Mesa rated the quality of life in the city as excellent or good.
