Citizen Satisfaction Survey Driven by the Performance Measurement Program, every two years the City administers a citizen satisfaction survey. The survey is used to gather citizen perception data. Surveys are mailed to 2,000 randomly selected households. Survey participants are asked to rate their satisfaction with the quality of life in the City, the community’s amenities, and with local government. If you have any questions about the citizen satisfaction survey, please contact Louise Atkins, Council Support Specialist, at 240-314-8106. Citizen Service Requests We welcome citizens, who have a request, problem or comment concerning City services, to send your information to us. The City of Rockville is proud to have a dedicated work force that is responsive to citizen's needs.

Mayor and Council's Intergovernmental Program The City Manager's Office coordinates and manages the Mayor and Council's Intergovernmental Program through the following efforts: - Active participation in the Maryland Municipal League - The Maryland Municipal League represents the collective effort of elected and appointed municipal officials of over 150 municipal governments throughout the state and aims to enact legislation that strengthens the capacity of municipal government.
- Ongoing communication with the District 17 State Delegation - By maintaining a team relationship with the District 17 Delegation (Senator Jennie Forehand and Delegates Kumar Barve, James Gilchrist, and Luiz Simmons), the Mayor and Council are able to secure state funding as well as legislation for the interests of all Rockville citizens.
- Continual monitoring and review of Montgomery County issues affecting the City - As the county seat of Montgomery County, there are times that county legislation or policy directly impacts the City's municipal authority; therefore, staff manages the ongoing monitoring and review of county issues.
The Mayor and Council welcome feedback on their Intergovernmental Program. If you would like to make a suggestion, please contact the City Manager's Office at 240-314-8100 or Linda Moran, Assistant to the City Manager, at 240-314-8115. Neighborhood Resources Program The Neighborhood Resources Program is based on the core belief that a strong partnership with neighborhoods will improve City services and strengthen communities. The program supports and empowers neighborhood associations, as well as facilitates effective communication between the community and City government.
