city council governing principles

The City Council established a set of City Council Governing Principles on July 1, 2025.  The principles outline shared values and expectations for how the City Council works together and serves the community.  

These principles promote respectful communication, collaboration, transparency, and ethical leadership.  They serve as a framework for how council members engage with one another, with city staff, and with the public.  While not a policy or ordinance, the governing principles reflect the Council's commitment to effective governance and public trust.
