Citizens are to be treated with dignity and respect, recognizing that compassion and understanding are important to our decision-making process.

It is essential that all of our members be professionally trained to provide guidance in our duty to the Community.

Partnerships with our citizens in addressing quality of life assists us in maintaining St. Charles as a safe and desirable place to live and work.
