What We Value

  • Accountability – Every activity is completed according to established performance standards and demonstrates clear value to county residents.
  • Integrity – Our primary obligation is to serve the public interest through the transparent, honest, and ethical execution of our responsibilities.
  • Competency – We pursue planning excellence through continuous professional development and certification maintenance opportunities that expand the capacity and improve the quality of our planning services.
  • Partnerships – Building strong relationships with municipal governments, the public, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector creates a collaborative environment that broadens the reach and impact of our planning initiatives.
  • Be Present – Successful planning requires local familiarity and experience that can only be gained through our personal presence in every community throughout the county.
  • Respect Local Autonomy –We support the local government structure in the county and commit to working cooperatively with communities to develop “grass roots” solutions tailored to meet local needs.
