City of La Verne Mission Statement

By Jon H. Blickenstaff

Developed and refined over the past 15 years, our Mission Statement serves as the foundation, the guiding principles of how local government serves the community

The mission of the City of La Verne is to provide a full range of effective municipal services to members of our community. To accomplish this we are committed to:

-preserving the virtues of a "small town";
-focusing on quality of life for all;
-being responsive to current and emerging citizen needs
and concerns;
-meeting challenges collectively through sound
leadership and teamwork;
-enhancing citizen services through careful fiscal
management;
-conducting government in an open environment that
encourages participation; and
-promoting the "Pride of La Verne" through our
employees, community organizations, and citizenry.

This Mission Statement is a part of our Strategic Plan, a process and product which provide the foundation for the way our local government works. The Strategic Plan serves in a highly meaningful and timely manner.
