Thank you to the hundreds of residents who participated in the City’s recently conducted, independent community survey. We are grateful to report that over two-thirds of residents remain satisfied with the job Redwood City is doing to provide City services.Redwood City is dedicated to maintaining the City services residents value. These services contribute to our community's high quality of life and make Redwood City a great place to live, work and play. As part of our fiscal planning, the City seeks to ensure large businesses pay their fair share to fund resident prioritized City services. This also helps reduce the impact on local taxpayers, so you don't shoulder all the costs of providing City services.
The City continues to exercise strong fiscal management practices and residents have told us how important it is to maintain local control over local funds. We are committed to ensuring local taxpayer funds can be used for our community needs. This allows Redwood City to be self-reliant and requires that our tax dollars are spent for Redwood City residents.
Residents have identified the following City service priorities this year:
- Fix potholes, and repair streets and sidewalks.
- Reduce flooding, water pollution, and provide green maintenance of existing storm drain infrastructure.
- Maintain the number of on-duty firefighters, paramedics, and police officers.
- Maintain 911 emergency response times.
- Continue after-school and recreation programs for children.
Redwood City wants to hear from ALL residents about your community and City service priorities. That’s why we’ve launched Redwood City Community Responds, to hear directly from you! Please take the City-wide survey to share your input: SURVEY.
Your responses help steer the direction of our community and are instrumental as we plan for a fiscally sustainable future. We look forward to updating you on the results of the Redwood City Community Responds survey!
