The Champaign City Council will meet October 7 and 8, 2025, to discuss their goals for the 2025-2027 Council term. Members of the public are invited to share their thoughts and ideas for the City Council to consider during their goal-setting meetings. Public input is an important part of the goal-setting process, and residents are encouraged to complete a brief survey and share their thoughts on what the City should focus on during the next two years. The survey seeks public input on two important questions:
- What do you value the most about Champaign?
- What do you think the City of Champaign should prioritize and work towards accomplishing and/or improving during the next two years?
The survey runs through September 9, 2025, and is available now on the Engage Champaign website – engagechampaign.org. Residents may also pick up a paper survey at the Champaign City Building (102 N. Neil St., Champaign). All survey responses will be provided to the City Council in advance of their goal-setting meetings.
Following each Council election, the members of the City Council meet to discuss and establish their shared goals for the next two years. The City Manager and her executive leadership team use the Council’s goals to set City priorities, direct work activities, and allocate staff and financial resources. Residents with questions about the survey or the goal-setting process are encouraged to contact the City Manager’s Office at 217-403-8710.
