One of the most important actions any organization can take is to establish a strong focus on what they want to be and how they are going to get there. With this in mind the City Council has placed importance and merit into updating a mission statement, vision statement, values, and core strategies for the City.

Transparency
We believe that open, honest, and proactive communication is essential for an informed and involved citizenry. Processes and decision making should proactively inform and educate citizens in order to receive feedback.
