Open-ended QuestionCitizens had a lot to say Appreciated the opportunity to provide feedback “should do
this more often” Need more in-depth questions related to specific issues in the
citizen satisfaction section Deer population is a problem Issues with police responsiveness Issues related to ADA—crosswalks, recreation center,
library, sidewalks Roads need repair Support of economic development in the city—downtown—
not the ranch Many felt that, overall, the city is doing a fairly good job
