City Vision/Mission Statement

In 2020, City leaders and staff, with community input, developed Paramount’s first Vision, Mission, Values and Strategic Outcomes.

Vision

A City that is safe, healthy and attractive.

Mission

Dedicated to providing fiscally responsible services that maintain a vibrant community.

Values

Values are the guiding beliefs and principles of the organization. In Paramount, we value …

• * Respectful and ethical behavior.
• * Service excellence.
• * Responsiveness, accountability and professionalism.
• * Innovation and creativity.
• * Teamwork and collaboration.
• * Effective, inclusive and transparent public information and engagement.
•  

Strategic Outcomes

Lastly, strategic outcomes provide a “pathway” to the Vision. Here are Paramount’s:

• 1. Safe Community
  Provide a safe place to live, work, and visit.
• 2. Community Health
  Provide diverse recreational and cultural amenities that support healthy lifestyles and sense of community.
• 3. Economic Health
  Support a healthy, sustainable economy reflecting community values.
• 4. Environmental Health
  Promote, protect, and enhance a healthy and sustainably built and natural environment.
• 5. Attractive and Well-maintained Infrastructure
  Develop and maintain City-owned infrastructure, parks, facilities, and amenities that enhance quality of life and attractiveness of the community.
• 6. Efficient, Effective, and Fiscally Responsible
  Deliver an efficient and effective City government in a fiscally responsible, transparent, and collaborative manner.

These statements set the standard for the organization, establish priorities, uniformity, and guidelines, and guide the direction for policy decision-making. This helps the City better serve the community while, at the same time, the community gains an understanding and level of confidence in their government’s character and direction.
