FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Residents to be queried in 2013 Quality of Life Survey
Edina, Minn., May 7, 2013 – Minneapolis-based The Morris-Leatherman Company will contact residents this
month to conduct a Quality of Life Survey for the City of Edina.
Approximately 400 residents will be contacted via telephone and asked their opinions on topics ranging from
City parks and recreation to economic development to communications. A similar survey was completed in
2011.
City Manager Scott Neal said he believes gathering information through regular surveys is important. “The
Quality of Life Survey will produce a wealth of information that we will use to determine our priorities and
make our services, facilities and infrastructure better,” Neal said.
The 190-question survey is being conducted by The Morris-Leatherman Company, formerly Decision
Resources, at a cost of about $27,000. A report is expected to be complete early this summer. Results will be
compared with those from the 2011 survey and survey data from similar cities around the metro and statewide.
The Morris-Leatherman Company, which completed the City’s surveys in 2011 and 1999, has also conducted
surveys in many cities, counties and school districts around the state, including Edina Public Schools.
