Meeting Agenda - Final  
City Council  
MISSION STATEMENT: The mission of the Duluth City Council is  
to develop effective public policy rooted in citizen involvement  
that results in excellent municipal services and creates a thriving  
community prepared for the challenges of the future.  
TOOLS OF CIVILITY: The Duluth City Council promotes the use  
and adherence of the tools of civility in conducting the business  
of the council. The tools of civility provide increased  
opportunities for civil discourse leading to positive resolutions  
for the issues that face our city. We know that when we have  
civility, we get civic engagement, and because we can’t make  
each other civil and we can only work on ourselves, we state that  
today I will: pay attention, listen, be inclusive, not gossip, show  
respect, seek common ground, repair damaged relationships,  
use constructive language, and take responsibility. [Approved by
