A core part of the survey program is creating what is called a Community Survey Panel. Citizens who volunteer are asked to participate in up to 12 surveys over 12 months about issues important to the City of Brainerd. If you have questions about the survey and/or the Community Survey Panel, please contact Mark Ostgarden at mostgarden@ci.brainerd.mn.us or 218-454-3409. Below is information gathered from the initial surveys that was presented to the City Council on January 17, 2017.
