Eugene Counts Community Workshop
October 14, 5:30-7:30 p.m., Council Chamber, City Hall

Join the conversation

How do we know we are truly doing well? Achieving the results our community cares most about?

Driven by the belief that sharper focus leads to better results, Eugene Counts is a partnership between residents and City government designed to identify priorities so we can concentrate on achieving the outcomes that matter most.

Through a series of workshops, discussions, interviews and surveys, this effort will develop a clearer picture of the concrete results our community would like to achieve, anchored in the framework provided by the City Council’s vision and goals. This will help inform decision-making in a number of ways, ranging from service delivery improvements to resource allocation. Results will be measured and shared transparently, to see whether the initiatives we undertake are contributing to achieving the outcomes our community seeks.
