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.

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 Department Directors and the City Manager, the updated Vision and Mission for the City are as follows: Vision The City of Fort Walton Beach: a recognized leader in the provision of Community Services. Mission To enhance and protect the Community by providing quality services. 2  Strategic Plan Adopted in May 2021 City Council’s primary responsibility is to shape public policy to achieve the citizens’ desires for the future.
