Survey : Questions

Budgets might not be the most exciting topic, but pie is always fun. That's why we are giving Cedar Rapids residents a chance to win pie for a year* just for taking our budget survey!

As we work to develop our annual municipal budget, it is important to have a clear understanding of our community's needs and expectations. The information you share through this survey will help identify fiscal year 2022 budget priorities for services that are important to Cedar Rapidians.

So which departments do you think should get the biggest slice? Let us know, and you could be enjoying pie every month for a year!
