Mission & Vision The group revised the City’s mission, focusing on what the city does while avoiding trendy jargon. The result is a mission to “Promote a high quality of life to those we serve, through outstanding city services.” The group also revised the City’s mission, focusing on its ultimate and ongoing aspiration for Saint Anthony as a result of mission. The result is a vision in which “Saint Anthony is a Village where all people can live, work, learn, play and thrive.” Core Services Since the revised mission refers to services, it was important to have a common understanding of and consistent communication of core services They are not the same thing as City departments (i.e., organizational structure for providing the services).
