This section is for sharing and discussing policies, policy development, and related issues. Of interest to elected and appointed officials, as well as staff.
John Carver wrote an article specific to developing municipal policies (attached) and includes some illustrative Ends policies, the highest of which are:
CITY OF BURTONS ENDS
The City of Burton exists so that residents and visitors in the municipal area have the essentials of pleasant civic life at a reasonable burden of monetary and personal costs.
A. The city will be a safe, orderly, attractive environment in which to conduct commerce and to enjoy personal and interpersonal life...
B. Combined cost to citizens and visitors of taxes, user fees, loss of freedom, and other impositions will be no greater than that of comparable municipalities providing essentially similar benefits...
C. City benefits are intended primarily for residents and, where any
priority-setting is applicable, secondarily for visitors.
(Full Ends are in the attachment)
