PLEASE FORWARD TO COUNCIL. Lori, as discussed at the last Council Workshop on Monday July 30th, I am forwarding a FIRST DRAFT of a Mission Statement for Council review. During the course of my research, I discovered several articles and training guides that outlined the content, context and format of a municipality's statement of Vision, Mission and Values. In addition, sections that closely resemble the corporate S.W.O.T. model have been included on pages 2 and 3 under the headings of Community Assets, Key Issues, Goals and Opportunities and Priorities and Action Plan. Although I did try to capture topics Council members spoke to at previous workshops, the examples I have used under those headings are certainly incomplete, randomly stated and in no particular order. I am presenting this simply as a catalyst for discussion at our Council Workshop this Saturday, August 1 l�'.
