WHEREAS, alertness is a critical personal quality needed for lasting success; and

families are strong, homes and streets are safe, education is effective, business is productive,
neighbors care about one another, and citizens are free to make wise choices for their lives and
families; and
WHEREAS, we recognize that the health of this community depends upon all of our
citizens being able to endure in their activities and their associations; and
WHEREAS, the tranquility and orderly operation and development of our City demand
that we implement the key concept of alertness: anticipating obstacles to be overcome;
preparing for goals, costs and benefits of projects to be done; understanding both external and
internal indicators; communicating with those who contribute to or will be affected by our
actions; acting promptly to address situations as they arise; taking time to analyze and evaluate
carefully; and,
WHEREAS, by following these suggestions, we as citizens individually and collectively
can improve the quality of our products and the efficiency of our services, can focus our efforts
on achieving our goals, can provide our community with an improving competitive edge, and
can find new avenues for enriching our lives as we move boldly yet patiently into our developing
future.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Doug Hutchinson, Mayor of the City of Fort Collins, do
