Great job on coming together as a group in exactly the <br />allotted time! <br />"Sustainable Public Works services meeting the needs of Eugene's citizens now and in the <br />future. ** <br />When explaining the vision statement, the Environmental Policy Team's definition of "sustainable" will be used. I got this <br />from the City's background paper on sustainablity -- not sure if there's a different definition: <br />Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without <br />compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." <br />The Mission and Vision will be placed in each of our major conference rooms in Public Works. It will also become part of <br />the Work Plan planning process and the Service Profile update process. Each new Service Profile team will create a <br />vision statement that is about sustainability for that service so it is in line with the Department's vision. This will create <br />investment by the Budget Committee. <br />The vision may also be printed on the back of business cards, at the desire of the employee. <br />Rollout The training I attended on the City's values was a test before it goes out to the departments. It is about decision - <br />making.using the values. HR has a video with some scenarios and some written scenarios that were used for discussion <br />purposes, and the plan is to ask all of the departments to come up with some of their own scenarios. I believe the Public <br />Works mission and vision will fit nicely in this training package, and that we can come up with some scenarios that <br />illustrate how to use the department's vision in a decision - making situation. <br />M <br />
