1. This slideshow was created to give Lakeland’s citizens an
idea of the questions being asked, in the event this might
prompt them to take the survey, or start a conversation
about the survey.

2. Lakeland Values Survey
“In an effort to delve deeper and fully understand citizenry
opinions, the City, at the direction of the City Manager’s Office,
developed and implemented an online survey seeking input from
our Citizens on City services and programs. The survey was
focused on what is valued by the community. Additionally,
participants had the opportunity to register for one of five
workshops to discuss their values and opinions in an open forum
moderated by a neutral facilitator not affiliated with the City.
Response data was then pulled and analyzed in statistical
software and was presented to City Commissioners as a means
to drive the Strategic Operating Plan, budgeting process and
actionable items to be incorporated and funded in the upcoming
budget cycle.”
