These principles form a non-negotiable code of conduct and will guide our government on who we hire, how we train, and how we reward. These values will define who we are, what we stand for, and influence policies, procedures, and guidelines. Adopted by City Council in May 2011, after a collaborative effort by Department Directors and the City Manager to consolidate employee suggestions, these five core values represent the first milestone in instituting the City’s new Performance Excellence Program. Integrity We will conduct ourselves in an honest, trustworthy, and ethical manner. Accountability We will take full responsibility for our actions, resources, and attitudes. Teamwork We will work together to provide quality services. Customer Service We will be professional, use all available resources, and strive to meet the needs of our customers. Continual Improvement We will promote a culture that seeks to better our organization. Adopted by City Council in September 2011, after a collaborative effort by
