OUR CITY'S VISION <br />An organization's vision statement is supposed to reflect the organization's basic philosophy and core <br />values. How does the City of Lino Lakes (Council and staff) make decisions? Who participates? What <br />are the City's ethical standards? What does the City of Lino Lakes do? Vision statements should be <br />uplifting and broad. They may indicate new ways of doing things. The best vision statement is often a <br />short one. <br />"A Community with a Vision" is on our web site. What does that mean? <br />The following is a list of values that the Council discussed somewhat describe the City of Lino Lakes. <br />• Families <br />• Space <br />• Rural city <br />• Amenities <br />• Environmental attributes <br />• People left alone <br />• We do what we want <br />• Independent <br />• Live <br />• Love <br />• Like <br />• Last <br />• Lakes <br />• City in the country <br />• Growing one step at a time <br />• Diversity tax base <br />• Growing with a purpose to provide our <br />residents the service they need <br />• Balance <br />• Best rural city growing with purpose and <br />balance <br />• Come for a lifetime <br />• Rural city for life <br />• The best kept city in the twin cities <br />• City with country feel <br />• Cradle to grave <br />• Small town <br />• Provincial <br />• Country <br />• Narrow - minded <br />• Limited <br />• Rustic <br />After the discussions of the vision words above, the Council developed several of the following draft <br />Vision Statements for the Staff to review. <br />"Lino Lakes for life" <br />"A small town City.
