What we value

Our values aren’t just words on a wall – they’re how we work, how we treat each other, and how we serve our community. They show up in every conversation, every collaboration, and every act of care.

These values guide us forward - helping us aim higher, stay connected, and make a real impact, together.

Our values

Put Community First

We listen, respond, and take the time to understand what matters most. We serve with care and openness – doing our part to help, and keeping the community informed every step of the way.

Serve With Pride

It’s in how we show up – how we present ourselves, consistency in our service, and respect in how we communicate. Together, we set the tone through our actions, every day.

Aim Higher

We don’t settle for “good enough.” We adapt, improve, and keep finding better ways to do things – not just to serve the community, but to help it grow and thrive.

Be Safe

Safety starts with intention – it’s built into how spaces are maintained and how services are delivered. We all have a part to play in making sure people feel safe – in every sense of the word.

Treat People Right

Respect shows in what we do. It’s in how we listen, how we follow through, and how we treat people every day – with fairness, kindness, and a commitment to building trust that lasts.

Giving back together

Caring for our community is part of who we are.

From volunteering to protecting our environment, our employees help create a cleaner, more connected city for everyone.
