CREDO'S
• Public participation will be a permanent part of
creating great communities and cities. A
commitment to public participation will transform
government, making it more open, responsive and
effective. It will also build the level of trust among
residents; trusting that, ultimately, the citizens feel
ownership of City Hall and that City Hall responds.
• Transparency and accountability are the hallmarks to
establishing trust.
CREDO'S METHODOLOGY
• Raise public awareness about the importance of
civic engagement.
• Instill and impart a method and pattern for long-
term formal involvement by the citizens in
meaningful dialogue and decisions.
• Gather information about current issues directly
from the public.
• Develop a public dialogue about issues.
• Invigorate the present dialogue by offering
challenging potential solutions to community issues.

• Both Eagle's community leaders and I believe
that by engaging citizens on vital issues - by
listening to them and creating plans to
respond to their collective voice — that Eagle
would become an even better place. I believe
this process will lead to a permanent change
in the civic culture of the community.

Eagle Idaho Vision
A 20 Year Look Into Our Future
Can you picture Eagle in 20 years? Will there be plenty of parks, good streets,
affordable neighborhoods and a strong economy? Will the area's affinity to Boise
and western history still be reflected in the community? Will the surrounding
environment be healthy and accessible to all?
With good, solid strategic leadership and planning, in 20 years Eagle can be all
those things and more. But it will require a flexible roadmap to the future. It will
require focused attention to short and long-term projects and plans. And, it will
require commitment from all members of the community.
That's why the Eagle Mayor and Council have developed a 20 -year strategic plan,
"Our Future Eagle" to promote strategic leadership and performance and guide the
community to the future. The plan includes the City's vision for the community
that reflects what it hopes the community can accomplish and what it can become.
In support of that vision, the City has defined eight strategic focus areas and the
goals and measurable objectives that define success in each of those areas.
The plan is not a rigid blueprint to be put on the shelf, but rather a living and
flexible guideline designed to help the Mayor and Council and the entire
community focus limited resources on making the very best it can be. Progress will
be measured regularly and reported to the community. Course corrections will be
made if necessary. But the focus on the vision of "Our Future Eagle" will not
change, and the work to make the vision a reality will continue as Eagle moves
forward.
'Imagine in 20 years:
Eagle is still a young, vibrant community built on many years of western and
Idaho traditions.
Through hard work and focused commitment, our residents and leaders have
created a city where:
• Meaningful choices for housing, employment, education, recreation, cultural activities,
medical care, and retail opportunities are available to all.
• The area's unique environment and climate are embraced, protected, and enhanced by open
space, parks, walking paths, and a River Runs Through It.
• A strong and somewhat diverse economic foundation supports a prosperous population.
• Where good planning and the expansion of city boundaries have provided opportunities for
the creation of attractive neighborhoods and successful commercial districts. Eagle boasts one
of the lowest property tax rates in Idaho.
• Visitors choose to come to enjoy the area's many attractions.
• Stewardship of the community's assets and resources and the provision of superior services
by city government is paramount.
• People and organizations work in partnership for the benefit of the entire Eagle community.
iStrategic Focus Areas:
• Sustainable Water Management &
Environmental Stewardship
• Economic Vitality and Diversity
• Quality Community Facilities and
Services
• Quality Parks and Recreational
Amenities
• Designated Urban Renewal Districts
• Well-planned Smart Growth
• Eagle— Boise Partnership
• Attractive -Enjoyable Community
