Core Values
Rather than being just words found on the website or located at the top of letterhead, these core
values are the guiding principles by which City Council, Department Directors, and City Staff will
conduct themselves, allocate resources, and prioritize goals and objectives. 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 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.
