Salem Residents Survey

From: Robert K McCarthy

Councillor Ward One

Mayor Kimberley Driscoll today announced the seventh annual Salem Residents Survey is now online. The survey is available by clicking the “2016 Salem Resident Survey” button at www.salem.com/mayors-office. A Spanish language of the survey is also available at www.salem.com/mayors-office. The 2016 residents’ survey will be online until Friday, April 22.

All Salem residents are encouraged to visit the online survey and share their opinions on a range of issues facing the City of Salem and their view of City services.

“The 2016 survey marks the seventh year this data has been collected,” said Mayor Driscoll. “Hearing directly from residents allows us to improve service delivery and focus our public resources on those issues that are of most concern to the people of Salem. Having a number of years’ worth of data now also enables us to take a closer look at trends and changes that are taking place in our community.”

The final data is compiled and included in the Mayor’s annual budget, issued in May. The information provides important performance and outcome measures, which have, in the past, contributed to the City of Salem being one of just a handful of Massachusetts communities to be awarded both a Certificate of Excellence and a Distinguished Budget Award from the Government Finance Officers Association.
