City of Lethbridge launches community satisfaction survey
The City of Lethbridge is asking residents for their feedback to help shape and improve city services. The City of Lethbridge is asking residents for their feedback to help shape and improve city services. The city has launched its community satisfaction survey to get insight on different programs and services offered by the municipality. The questionnaire will be done over the phone and online. In the past, the city has done a 20-minute survey every four years focused on the municipal operating budget, but the city says this survey will help administration and different departments better understand what residents like and want improved. 'New to the city is kind of setting these goals in each department, and lots of departments identified that satisfaction survey as the key way to get information from our residents,' said Tara Grindle, City of Lethbridge communications manager. 'So we really want to make sure that we're doing that on a frequent basis, so those departments can be checking those measurements and going, 'Are we meeting it? No, we're not—we need to be doing something different.' 'So it has a lot of impact, actually, on how we're going to run our programs and services.' The city will conduct the phone survey at random over the coming weeks. If you don't receive a call, you can fill out the survey at until Aug. 15.

A Trashy Fourth of July in Philadelphia
Public unions are often at odds with the public interest, and Exhibit A is Philadelphia this week. Heading into the Fourth of July, the home of Independence Hall is greeting holiday guests with garbage piles on streets and limited city services. That's thanks to one of the city's biggest worker strikes in decades. The city's District Council 33, an affiliate of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees representing some 9,000 workers, went on strike just after 12 a.m. Tuesday. Initially demanding an 8% pay raise for each of the next three years, along with benefit increases, the union had backed down Monday night to 5%, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. But Mayor Cherelle Parker's offer of a 2.75% raise, followed by two years of 3% hikes and on top of a 5% raise in the last contract, wasn't enough for the union. The union chose to strike as soon as its previous contract expired, and the decision, well, is starting to stink. Members include garbage collectors, and trash is piling up as residents haul their refuse to select locations. 'Dumpsters that the city has set up as trash drop-off locations were overflowing with refuse Wednesday, with a notable stench infusing the muggy air,' the Inquirer reports. 'This is a nightmare,' resident Renee Dennis told an ABC affiliate. Union members also include 911 dispatchers and water plant workers. A judge ordered these employees back to their posts Tuesday, but a city website warns 911 callers that they 'may still experience longer wait times.' The city solicitor said the medical examiner's office was 'critically understaffed,' and a judge also ordered those workers back Thursday. Better wait to have that heart attack.
