Vision, Mission, and Values Statements & 5 Year Plan
One of the Board of Supervisor’s 2011 Goals was to “Develop Tuolumne County Vision, Mission, and Values Statements and complimentary 5 Year Plan”. The Board also desired to develop a Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct. This overall goal was accomplished with adoption of these statements and plan on December 6, 2011. It should be noted that this is the first time that the Board of Supervisors has ever adopted such statements and plans. This is another major step towards the County of Tuolumne becoming a more purposeful, mission driven organization. Click here to view the complete document.
