Polco Inc., a professional survey firm, will administer the comprehensive quality of life survey for both the businesses and residents. Surveys were first mailed to randomly selected residents and businesses in November and early December as part of the random sampling phase of the process, the city said.

Both the random sampling and the at-large results will be made available to the community.

The survey instruments being used by Polco will allow the City of Laguna Beach to compare results and benchmark opinions against other communities across the country.

The survey will close on January 10, 2022, at 5 p.m.

Residents with questions about the survey may contact Jeremy Frimond, Senior Management Analyst, at jfrimond@lagunabeachcity.net or (949) 464-6673.
