Cannon Beach surveys ready for mailing in the new year
Questionnaire
to be sent to
homeowners
By DANI PALMER
EO Media Group
CANNON BEACH — The city
of Cannon Beach will be sending
out surveys next month for feed-
back on its strategic plan.
City Manager Brant Kucera
said the council decided to go with
the National Research Center’s
National Citizen Survey, used in
cities small and large. Cannon
Beach’s will be customized, how-
ever.
During a work session earlier
this month, the council worked to
eliminate nonapplicable questions
and offer suggestions for relevant
ones to add.
Kucera said those addition sug-
gestions include topics such as af-
fordable housing, short -term rent-
als, parking and marijuana sales.
Questions regarding issues like
snow removal will be eliminated.
“Because of the size of the
community, they (council mem-
bers) said they’d survey all house-
holds,” Kucera said.
Councilor George Vetter said
one challenge is some residents
use their business post office
box to receive personal mail and
the city doesn’t plan to send sur-
veys to business addresses, he
added.
Kucera said he believes mail
deliverers will be able to figure
out if a resident is attached to a
business address.
Vetter said another challenge
they face is that “the experience

The surveys to be used in stra-

The strategic plan itself is a

The shorter termed a plan,
