Tempe to survey residents on services |
The city of Tempe last month began mailing a survey to community members seeking input on everything from parks and streets to police and fire service.
A three-page survey will be mailed to 2,400 randomly selected Tempe residents. The confidential survey takes an estimated 10 minutes to complete and residents are asked to mail it back to ETC Institute, of Olathe, Kansas, the company that has been retained to administer the survey for Tempe.

Tempeans gather for centennial celebration |

In 1902, Tempe’s founding families had a picnic on The Peterson Lawn in the fall to give thanks for living though the Arizona summers. Descendants of this hearty group have met ever since then (only skipping a few years during World War II).
