Minutes - Final
City Council
MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the Duluth City Council
is to develop effective public policy rooted in citizen
involvement that results in excellent municipal services and
creates a thriving community prepared for the challenges of the
future.
TOOLS OF CIVILITY: The Duluth City Council promotes the use
and adherence of the tools of civility in conducting the business
of the council. The tools of civility provide increased
opportunities for civil discourse leading to positive resolutions
for the issues that face our city. We know that when we have
civility, we get civic engagement, and because we can’t make
each other civil and we can only work on ourselves, we state
that today I will: pay attention, listen, be inclusive, not gossip,
show respect, seek common ground, repair damaged
relationships, use constructive language, and take
responsibility. [Approved by the council on May 14, 2018]
