Core Values
Rather than being just words found on the website or located at the top of a 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
