PROCLAMATION DECLARING VALUES WEEK, FEBRUARY 14-20, 1999
WHEREAS, "it takes a whole village to educate a child," (African proverb) The whole
community has the responsibility to work in concert with the home to provide consistent messages
about how we are to treat each other.
WHEREAS, the entire community participated in a process to identify a common ground of
basic goodness. The District 112 communities process involved three community forums and a
committee that reviewed and summarized the input from the community. The values were then
adopted by the city councils, school board, and county commissioners.
WHEREAS, the entire community must be involved. This includes school, business, clergy,
law enforcement, social services, city government, and service organizations. This involvement begins
with identifying the values and continues by community members modeling and promoting the values.
WHEREAS, the City of Chanhassen has adopted and promotes the eight Community Values
of CITIZENSHIP, ENVIROMENTALISM, GENEROSITY, HUMAN WORTH & DIGNITY,
INTEGRITY, LEARNING, RESPECT FOR OTHERS AND RESPONSIBILITY.
WHEREAS, The Values Committee has organized the Tenth Annual Community Values
Award Program for 1999.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Chanhassen hereby proclaims
the week of February 14-20, 1999, to be
COMMUNITY VALUES WEEK
in the City of Chanhassen. As we continue to face the challenges and opportunities of our society, I
call on all citizens of CHANHASSEN to promote and model these eight values.
CHANHASSEN'S commitment and dedication to building a bright future for all members, but
especially the youth of this community, remain top priorities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 8th day of February in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.
