WALLA WALLA โ€” The Walla Walla City Council will hold a workshop today at 4 p.m. On the agenda is a joint meeting with the salary commission. The council and members of the commission will look at a mayor-council compensation comparison.

The council will also hear a presentation on the 2021 street survey results.

Responses were received from 408 residents.  An additional 88 responses were received from a non-statistically valid internet-based survey.  Citizens were asked a variety of questions regarding streets and street funding. William SaintAmour from Cobalt Community Research will present a summary of the survey findings to council.

An update on work that has already begun to refresh the cityโ€™s mission, vision and values will also be presented to council by Deputy City Manager Elizabeth Chamberlain.

The meeting will be streamed on the cityโ€™s website and on Zoom. The ID number is 829 1150 0488.
