Marin's Community Survey Nears The Finish Line

SAN RAFAEL, CA — Marin County neighbors have just a handful of days left to participate in an online community survey designed to guide the Board of Supervisors in crafting their priorities over the next five years. The survey was launched to select households in April and expanded to online participants in May. Residents who have yet to fill out the online survey have until Friday, June 9, to do so.

This year's survey is Marin County's first since 2019 and will serve as the foundation for strategic planning efforts in the years to come. Participants have a chance to weigh in on quality of life, local policies and government services and rank their priorities for the future. The last question gives residents a chance to share what they think the county should direct its focus on in the next two years.

"It's important to the Board of Supervisors to ask residents for their opinion on county services and their quality of life in Marin," Stephanie Moulton-Peters, the board's president, said in April. "This is an opportunity to hear how our residents are doing and how things are working in our communities to help us make decisions. Every voice matters."

Officials estimate the survey takes about 15 minutes to complete, and it is available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. All responses are anonymous. People without steady access to the internet can get help at a Marin County Free Library.
