County Board: Citizen Survey

During the first quarter of 2008, Peoria County conducted its first National Citizen Survey. We elected to administer the survey to gauge citizen opinion of the quality of life and the quality of services in Peoria County. One of the County Board's strategic goals is to partner with our citizens for success. The survey helps us achieve this goal by enabling us to better understand citizens' perceptions and desires for the community. The survey was sent to 3000 randomly selected households within the county.

Peoria County intends to use the results of the survey not only as a benchmark against which to measure our progress in the future, but also as a tool to further align our Strategic Plan and annual work plans with initiatives of importance to the citizens we serve. Peoria County is determined to administer this survey annually as a tool of performance measurement and, more importantly, to help identify service areas in need of improvement.
