The City of Iowa City is launching the first round of The National Community Survey soon, targeting randomly selected households for participation. This survey aims to gather valuable feedback on various issues that impact the community, allowing the City to make informed plans for the future. Residents who receive an invitation are encouraged to follow the provided instructions to share their input. If selected households do not receive an invitation, they can look forward to a community-wide survey that will be released shortly thereafter. To keep updated on these developments, interested residents can register with Polco, the City's survey partner, for notifications.

The survey postcards will feature specific information to help residents verify their legitimacy and avoid potential scams. Questions or concerns regarding the survey can be directed to Assistant City Manager Kirk Lehmann via email or phone. This initiative highlights the importance of community engagement in local governance and planning.
