Screen shot of new online poll for city of Coeur d'Alene, which goes live Friday.

Tell us what you think! A new online service encourages city residents to take a simple poll on important city issues, events, services and programs in the community. It will launch Friday, August 1. CityPoll will provide leaders at City Hall with important information on how citizens feel about a wide range of topics. Residents can respond to a monthly poll question by visiting www.cdaid.org/citypoll. One vote per household per month will be recorded. Notification of the program will be included in monthly municipal utility billing statements. City officials will monitor responses and use the results as a strategic planning tool to assure the city is providing optimum service to its citizens. CityPoll supplements existing opportunities for the public to engage with the city/Coeur d'Alene Today. More below.
