Results from this survey will help the Budget Office staff to properly prioritize County projects and funding. The survey covers all the County’s public services and asks whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied with them.

“This is a way for County residents to get the most for their money,” said Mayor Alan Arakawa. “Our tax dollars go toward funding police and fire, sewer and water, garbage pickup and other services so this is your chance to help us run a more effective, efficient and responsive government.”

According to Budget Director Sandy Baz, the survey is an extension of the Community Budget Meetings which are being held all over Maui County. Baz said the Community Budget Meetings started about a decade ago and this survey will serve to expand the County’s outreach to the community.

“This is just another convenient way for Maui’s citizens to give us their input,” Baz said. “We want everyone’s voice to be heard.”

For those without internet access, hard copies of this 25-question survey are available on the front desk of the Mayor’s office and at the upcoming community budget meetings. The community will also have a chance to complete the survey at the upcoming Maui Fair. To request a printed copy of the survey call the Maui County Mayor’s Office at 270-7855.
