Values, Integrity, Service, Insight, Optimism and New Ideas
If you have ever been interested in knowing more about your city and city departments, this is a great course is available through the City of South San Francisco. ESC highly recommends folks take advantage of this learning opportunity.
This dynamic and fun eleven week course is designed to offer you a comprehen-sive “hands-on” overview of your city government and provide you with the tools and understanding to help strengthen our City. As staff shares our V.I.S.I.O.N of South San Francisco, you will learn the importance we place on Values, Integrity, Service, Insight, Optimism and New Ideas (V.I.S.I.O.N).
How are City decisions made? How are City funds allocated, especially in tight budget times? How do City Departments coordinate with each other? You will get the answers to these questions and more as well as getting the opportunity to sit down with City Council members to discuss issues which are important to you. By getting engaged and learning more about how City government operates, our communication will improve and in the process help us build a stronger community together.

A graduation ceremony will take place on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at the City Council meeting and each participant will receive a graduation certificate at that time.
