Staff/Commission Input

To gather internal feedback from staff and commission members, a survey and focus group were conducted.

SURVEY: Feedback was collected from city staff and commission/task force members from a survey open from February 1 - 17. The survey asked:

1. How would you rate the overall quality of services at the City of Savage?
2. What services, if any, need improvement?
3. How would you rate the overall quality of life in Savage?
4. What one improvement, if any, could have the greatest positive impact on quality of life in Savage?
5. Over the next few years, please indicate how much of a priority each of the following should be for the City of Savage.
6. Would you recommend the City of Savage as a place to live? Why or why not?

FOCUS GROUP: A focus group for commission members was hosted on February 16 evening. There were 15 commissioners in attendance. The group split into 2 groups and discussed these questions:

1. When you think of what you like best about the city, what comes to mind?
2. When you think about your community compared to other suburban communities, what comes to mind about the advantages of Savage?
3. What are the disadvantages of living in this community compared to other places?
4. If you could change things about your community, what would they be?
5. Of the important roles that the city plays in helping to create a good quality of life, what are the most important to maintaining or creating a high-quality future?
6. If you had to choose three things for the city to focus efforts and resources over the next five years, what would they be?

Thank you to the commission members and staff that shared their feedback!

Next steps: A summary of the survey and focus group will be presented at the March 14, 2022 City Council meeting.
