Five strategic priorities have been identified to guide the City's operations as we strive to maintain the City as a safe, clean, and functional community.

City departments are the key areas that review industry standards and apply best practices to determine high-quality service levels. City departments develop performance measurements aligning with the City's strategic initiatives, mission, vision, core values, and established goals. The standards and the City's core principles are the basis for the performance measures included in the budget.

Strategic priorities include:

An effective local government is aware of residents' needs and provides the services residents want. This can be achieved by managing the price of government and introducing innovative business practices, using management, using new technology, hiring quality employees and leveraging partnerships to save resources.
