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.
