HERMISTON – The city of Hermiston and Zencity are partnering in a public survey tool that officials hope will help them better understand local priorities and concerns on a wide range of city services and quality of life. The Zencity Community Survey is designed to track satisfaction over a long period of time.
“We are always striving to get input from residents and this partnership with Zencity will be a great step toward understanding the needs and concerns of our residents to make the best decisions for the future of our city,” City Manager Byron Smith said in a prepared statement.
The survey is already underway and can be found on the city’s website. It will also appear to Hermiston residents via digital ads in various locations like social media platforms and news websites.
Hermiston began working with Zencity about a year ago to better understand the feedback residents were voicing about the issues that concern them. That company works with hundreds of cities, counties, and law enforcement agencies across the United States on issues ranging from public safety to implementing the American Rescue Plan.
