She said she didn't feel strongly either way, but <br /> 13 she said including the word "strive" does change the impact of the statement. <br /> 14 Vice-Chair Greene said she didn't like the word "strive." She suggested "aims to be." <br /> 15 Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked if the number of respondents (67) was enough to <br /> 16 warrant changes to the mission statement. <br /> 17 Charline Kirongozi said the mission statement was available on the social pinpoint site for <br /> 18 community feedback. She said that at this stage there is usually less input. She said most people <br /> 19 feel that they've had input at an earlier stage. <br /> 20 Vice-Chair Greene asked how representative 67 responses are of the county. <br /> 21 Charline Kirongozi said the number is not representative relative to the size of the county. <br /> 22 Commissioner Fowler said that the word "visionary" is not in the vision statement, so it is <br /> 23 useful to keep it in the mission statement. <br /> 24 Commissioner Hamilton said that she didn't think the mission statement needed to be <br /> 25 changed. She felt that it was important to focus on the performance measures and objectives. <br /> 26 Vice-Chair Greene said she thought it was important to change the statement to "beyond <br /> 27 those required by law." <br /> 28 Commissioner Richards said that"visionary"felt vague and thought the word "leader"was <br /> 29 more specific. <br /> 30 Commissioner Hamilton said she was ok with taking "visionary" out. <br /> 31 Commissioner Fowler said she felt "visionary" felt different than "leader." <br />
