Citizen Survey <br /> Description: The citizen survey is mailed to randomly selected Clayton <br /> households annually. The overall objective of the <br /> research is to monitor the community's opinions and <br /> expectations about services the City provides. <br /> Audience: The citizens of Clayton are the primary target audience, <br /> City officials and staff are secondary audiences. <br /> Evaluation: The questions are carefully drafted to elicit specific <br /> information that help elected officials and City staff better <br /> serve the community. City staff and elected officials then <br /> evaluate survey results, develop the appropriate response <br /> and allocate resources. <br /> 2009 marked the first year in several years that the City <br /> conducted a citizen survey. The City is using the 2009 <br /> survey results to evaluate service performance measures. <br /> This process helps the City internally gauge its progress <br /> in the delivery of services, compare its performance to <br /> other municipalities and develop goals for the future. <br /> Recommendation: It is recommended that the City continue publishing <br /> annual citizen surveys and reporting the results. <br /> 5. Clayton Connection <br /> Description: The weekly e-mail to over 1,200 readers provides <br /> updates on City events, activities and meetings, special <br /> announcements and emergency alerts. <br /> Audience: The messages are received by subscribers to Clayton <br /> Connection. <br /> Evaluation: Feedback about the e-mail updates is positive.
