Nine test questions to gauge city government efficiency
A printed booklet from the Chicago City Manager Committee lists nine questions for evaluating city governance. It asks about cleanliness of public buildings, staff courtesy, council responsiveness, alley and street conditions, traffic safety, public transportation, access to budget discussions, contract bid transparency, and the clarity of annual reports. These items, while aimed at large cities, offer criteria for towns alike.
