St. Anthony City Council Plan for Governing with a Servant Leadership Mindset Rationale for Values Statement ●Council members take an oath of office upon taking office. ●A resolution adopting the standing rules for conducting city council meetings is adopted every January. ●Rationale for Values Statement: Values statements are written to reflect the core ethical values of the city. They are a way to compare preferred values against actual behaviors. Values statements may take many forms, but generally they contain four to six cardinal values surrounded by “I” statements and examples. For example, “I serve the public interest when I recognize and support the public’s right to know the public’s business.” Values-based codes generally set aspirational “do’s,” while codes of conduct stress “don’ts.” Values Statement Elected Officials and Council Structure and Role (page 14) League of Minnesota Cities Minnesota Mayor Handbook (page 35 & Appendix F on page 78) Draft Sample Statement of Values Example of How We Can Utilize Data to Establish Goals Community Survey ↓↓ Use survey data to understand perception of city services and establish goals in January 2023 Disaggregate data to understand how People of Color experience city services in our community ↓↓ ●Revisit vision and mission statements ●Identify goals and how each ties to mission statement ●Determine how to measure goals ●Align budget to goals ●Revisit vision and mission statements ●Use data to establish Diversity, Equity and Inclusion goals in January 2023 ●Determine how to measure goals ●Align budget to goals League of Minnesota Cities and National League of Cities resources: Core Competencies in Local Government League of Minnesota Cities Handbook for Minnesota Cities League of Minnesota Cities Minnesota Mayor Handbook Elected Officials and Council Structure and Role League of Minnesota Cities Meetings of City Councils League of Minnesota Cities Meetings, Motions, Resolutions, Ordinances Good Start to Good Governance Official Conflict of Interest Sample Resolution from Duluth City Council Race Equity Toolkit: An Opportunity to Operationalize Equity 5 Ways Cities Can Use Data to Become More Efficient and Effective Draft Sample Statement of Values (adapted from League of Minnesota Cities Minnesota Mayor Handbook pages 73-76) Articles/Reference Documents Driving Diversity and Inclusion through Governance Director Onboarding and the Foundations of Respect Organizational Culture and Leadership Defining Culture and Organizational Culture DRAFT July 2021 Page 4
