IACIR will administer its ninth survey of local elected officials over the summer. The survey is designed to provide information to the IACIR and the Indiana General Assembly about the issues facing Indiana’s local governments.

The survey will be mailed in June to all members of the Indiana General Assembly, county council presidents, county board of commissioners presidents, mayors and school board presidents, as well as a sample of town councils and townships. Much of the survey is a series of questions about community conditions in six categories: health, public safety, economics, land use, local services, and community quality of life. It also includes questions about “hot topics” affecting local governments currently.

Information about the commission’s work including previous surveys can be found in the Publications section.
