The City of Campbell (“City”) ’s Mission Statement was adopted in November 1983.
Since its adoption, the Mission Statement has remained unchanged, serving as a guiding principle for City operations and community engagement. However, over the past decades, Campbell has evolved in both its population and character. This has prompted a need for the re -evaluation of the existing Mission Statement to determine whether it accurately reflects the City’s current values, vision, and direction.
The City’s current Mission Statement is shown below:
The City of Campbell’s mission is to maintain a safe and pleasant environment by providing effective governance and the efficient delivery of public services.
In the process of providing representative local government, the City identifies and anticipates concerns, problems and opportunities, and takes actions to address them.
The City government also provides a catalyst for the involvement of residents, businesses and organizations in the development and maintenance of the community.
The City’s role is to deliver critical public services in an efficient, professional and timely manner.
The City is responsible for the preservation of the community’s physical and aesthetic assets, and for the efficient management and equitable allocation of community fiscal resources.
Essential to accomplishing the objectives outlined above is the active involvement of citizens serving as elected Councilmembers, advisory commissioners, and on citizen committees and task forces. In addition, the selection, training, motivation and retention of highly qualified employees is critical to the City’s success.

In 2024, as directed by the City Council, staff began to evaluate the Mission Statement to ensure that it reflected the values of the Campbell community and the direction of the City. This process was grounded in collaboration and engagement, involving outreach to community stakeholders, internal staff, and the executive leadership team. Through a combination of survey data on value assessments and guided discussions, it became evident that while the foundational principles of the City remained intact, a refinement of the existing Mission Statement would be necessary to better align with the City’s direction and identity.
DISCUSSION
The outcome of this collaborative process led to the recommendation of a re vised Mission Statement:
“To work together with our community to foster a safe, vibrant, small -town feel where innovation and people thrive.”
Key values such as collaboration, innovation, and community emerged as central pillars—highlighting how these elements are instrumental in shaping a vibrant and resilient city. Words such as “small -town feel” and “thrive” where used to better capture the character and trajectory of the City.
To help articulate the Mission Statement more concisely and clearly, the management team held a brainstorming session focused on developing concise and relatable taglines. This resulted in powerful messages such as:
• Empowering community voices, honoring our roots, and growing together.
• Rooted in service, committed to progress, and united in purpose.
• Serving with integrity, preserving our small -town feel, and fostering growth together.
These taglines, along with our core values and guiding principles derived from community and staff input, can serve as accessible tools to share to our community that embody the City’s Mission Statement.
This is the first time the draft mission statement has been shared with the Council. Staff is seeking feedback on the draft. Once the City Council is satisfied with the draft, it would be appropriate to adopt the statement by motion of the Council.
