Albert Lea city officials said questionnaires for The National Citizen survey were mailed out Wednesday and should be arriving at selected households today or Friday.

Officials said they were made aware Wednesday there are other marketing questionnaires being distributed in the community and wanted to clarify that the city survey is prefaced by a yellow postcard.

At the top it is labeled “City of Albert Lea 2012 Citizen Survey.”

The surveys ask about the quality and usefulness of city services. The results will be in a final report that city officials can use to guide budget decisions, establish objectives and balance priorities.
