To All COLA LO Members,
This month the city performed its community attitudes survey using a contractor as it does every two years. The results provided insight into the consensus views of residents within Lake Oswego. They also exhibited some surprising trends that many have talked about over the past two years.
The Survey can be found here Lake Oswego Community Survey 2015.
The testimony by the contractor CFM can be found here City Survey Testimony 5/19/15 Meeting .
Overall citizens are quite happy with the quality of life in Lake Oswego and their opinion of local government has improved dramatically in the past two years. Its a surprising reversal of a ten year downward tend in attitudes toward local government. Many are now saying that the community believes the council and the budget committee are making the right decisions.
Why? The top concern of citizens are streets and fiscal management. Both of these areas have seen a substantial redirection over the past three years under the current administration. Substantial resources have been allocated to streets and fiscal management has been to reduce debt and use existing resources to accomplish core priorities.
Please notify all members, contacts, and friends.
