Community members can tell City Hall what issues are most important to them through an online or paper survey until Jan. 21.

The SaMoSays survey, which opened Dec. 5, gives people who live, work, or own a business or property in Santa Monica to select five priorities they would like city government to devote more resources to. The 23 options participants can select from include keeping neighborhoods safe, mental health and transparency.

City staff will present the results of the survey to City Council at its special meeting on Saturday, Jan. 26. Council will look at how the community ranked all 23 priorities and choose about five to focus on while it develops the City’s new budget, which will take effect for two years on July 1.
