At a work session earlier this month, the City Council updated the City’s vision and mission statements and developed new goals that will guide decision-making at all levels of City government. The goal-setting process is done every two years to build Council consensus and provide a clear direction for the future. The City Manager and staff will use the City Council’s vision, mission and goals to set priorities, direct work activities, and allocate staffing and resources in the coming months and years. The work session, which was held over two days, is available for the community to watch online. The City’s new vision, mission and goals are:
