Public Invited to Attend Meeting on City's Vision, Goals

City Council and city staff are meeting Saturday to continue to develop a vision and goals for Hermosa Beach.

Members of the public who'd like to learn more about the Hermosa Beach City Council's developing vision and goals for the city and its staff can attend a meeting Saturday, beginning at 8 a.m. in City Council Chambers, 1315 Valley Drive.

The meeting is expected to last all day, said city spokeswoman Alison Joob, and the public can come and go throughout.

Council and city leaders are engaging in what they term an extensive process to develop a vision and the goals to achieve it, and met for two lengthy sessions on the subject in December.

The previous meetings have helped to establish the following draft vision and mission statement:

Vision (15 years) - DRAFT

Mission (Role of Government) - DRAFT

"The Mission of the City of Hermosa Beach is to be Financially and Environmentally Responsible, Govern the Community, and Provide First Class Municipal Services in a Customer Friendly Way through Valued Employees and Volunteers."

Freedom is based on a sure identity, that I know who I am, but more importantly WHOSE I am. WhenRead More the LORD sent Moses to deliver His people, that was the beginning of their liberty. They were a particular people to the LORD, whose name is better understand as "He who was, is, and always will be." Not a god made of stone or wood, but the One who made, makes, and evermore makes and gives to us: the LORD took Israel by the hand and led them from bondage to slavery. Not who you are, but whose you are, makes all the difference between bondage and liberty: "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." (Romans 8: 15) Have you been adopted yet? "

Don't sell it until after Wednesday night. I'm going to buy a lottery ticket right now.
