Local governments commonly conduct satisfaction surveys to measure citizen opinions on service performance. The city of Del Mar last conducted a satisfaction survey in 2006. The City Council and City management will use the results of this survey to evaluate performance of city services and programs and to prioritize and make decisions on allocating resources for the city’s upcoming budget-setting process.
