The City Commission of the City of Clearwater met at the Countryside Recreation
Center at noon to present the Vision Statement to the Department Directors. After lunch,
the City Manager welcomed the Department Directors to the meeting and asked them to
introduce themselves.
The City Manager distributed a packet containing the Vision Statement, Principles of
Operation, Mission Statement and Values and read the Vision Statement. The Commission
and Management Team members commented on how they feel about the process used to
develop the statement and what the statement means to them. In response to a question,
each Commission member commented on what is now expected from the Department
Directors.
The Department Directors broke into three groups to respond to the following 3
questions: 1) What are your reactions?; 2) What are your questions? and 3) How do you
see yourself, as an individual, contributing to making this Vision a reality?
The responses were reviewed with the Commission.
The Commission thanked the Department Directors for being there and for their
participation.
The meeting adjourned at 1 :55 p.m.
