Residents Invited to Take CBJ Community Compass Survey and Share Budget Priorities

The City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) is asking Juneau residents to share what city services they value most by taking the CBJ Community Compass Survey before mid-February. Community feedback collected through this survey will help inform the CBJ assembly's budgeting process this spring.

Following the passage of Proposition 2 (sales tax exemptions) in the October 7, 2025 Regular Municipal Election, significant reductions in sales tax revenue are expected to necessitate service-level cuts to the city's annual budget. With the Fiscal Year 2027 budget process gearing up, CBJ seeks to understand community funding priorities and values to inform decision-making both this year, and into the future, through the CBJ Community Compass survey and outreach initiative.

This effort will include an online survey, in-person workshops, and Assembly listening sessions exploring what CBJ services are most important to the community. The survey and workshops ask residents where they are willing to make tradeoffs and what is critical to their quality of life in Juneau.

Juneau residents who complete the survey will have a chance to choose from a suite of CBJ passes and prizes. Only one survey response per person is permitted. The survey is administered by Rain Coast Data. All responses will remain confidential and reported to CBJ in summary form.
