        APPLYING OUR VISION AND PRINCIPLES


        Following city council adoption of a finalized Vision
        Report in December, the city will immediately
        incorporate the vision and guiding principles into its
        strategic planning and routine operations to ensure
        values-based and priorities-driven decision-making.   ANCHORED                                   ENGAGED
        Just as Envision Littleton has involved an initial
        filtering effort to evaluate an array of inputs, the
        City of Littleton will apply the resulting new vision
        and principles when weighing various choices.
        Examples include budgeting, capital project priorities,
        department programs and staffing, grant pursuits,
        new or expanded partnerships, and zoning and land
        development proposals, among others.                       AUTHENTIC                      ACTIVE

        feedback on the draft Envision
        Report, participants were reminded
        that planning for the future will not
        be easy and were asked what they
        believe is the most important way
        to treat each other. There was a
        fairly even response among the
        options, which included Listen, Be
        Neighborly, Empathize, Be Open
        Minded, and Be Compassionate.


        WE ARE STILL LISTENING

        Going forward, the city will continue to listen, learn, and adapt so that the desired future we are all seeking for Littleton will
        remain in focus. Effective communities evaluate their choices and revisit their vision and principles regularly. They must
        remain on target, be clearly understood, and encompass the range of likely issues that will arise. All who have contributed
        so far to Envision Littleton must remain stewards of the vision our community has put forward. This will ensure that Littleton
        is among the places where visions and values endure across decades and generations.
