- Corvallis Community Surveys - The City has conducted community surveys on a regular basis over many years. The results assist the Council and the Budget Commission in prioritizing programs and services and in determining allocation of City resources. Results from the 2015 survey are now available.
- Ward Meetings - Ward meetings are designed to provide comfortable forums for residents within each Ward to discuss ward-specific and city-wide issues with City Councilors and City staff. Most departments and the City Manager's Office are represented at each meeting. For the past few years, ward meetings have been held in different wards at six to eight week intervals with the goal of having at least one meeting in each ward over the two-year Council term.
