On Target Satisfaction with top five City functions

Description

In 2016, survey respondents were asked to rate the importance of City functions from a list of 19 services or programs provided by the City. They were also asked to report how satisfied they are with these services and programs. Of the top 5 most important services, the City received an overall satisfaction score for those services.

 

Analysis

In the fiscal year 2023 community survey, the top 6 (two city functions tied at 5th) most important city functions were police services, fire services, ambulance and EMS services, maintaining streets, recycling and garbage collection and emergency preparedness tied at number 5 as high importance for the residents in Germantown. For those services, the overall satisfaction was 85.33%. This is a slight increase in this measure compared to fiscal year 2018. The City will continue to maintain a high focus on core services that are provided to the community and will continue to strive to meet the customer needs.
