To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
FROM: Steven Alexander, City Manager
DATE: April 2, 2019
SUBJECT: A Resolution of the City of South Miami, Florida, establishing a "Mission
Statement"
BACKGROUND: Many municipalities seek to promote their commitment to certain civic
values in the form of a "Mission Statement". This mission statement can
provide a positive aspirational vision for local governments to adhere to
and a guiding vision for policy. Furthermore, certain 'community rating
systems' such as the Florida Green Building Coalition Local Government
Certification Standard call for the presence of a mission statement to
secure additional points or credits. This resolution would establish a
mission statement which captures and proclaims the values and
principles which our local government seeks to uphold. This mission
statement would read as follows; "The City Commission of the City of
South Miami "The City of Pleasant Living" is committed to creating a
sustainable community through adherence to the values of fiscally,
socially and environmentally responsible leadership to provide a healthy,
respectful, progressive and professionally efficient community by the
practice of fair government."
