In January 2004, three newly elected members of Springville’s City Council were welcomed by other members of the Council and sworn in by Judge Dean Olsen. J. Niel Strong, Phillip Bird, and Rodney Burt were presented with orientation briefings from the City’s administrative staff and given a general overview of Springville City’s mission.

As a local government, the mission of Springville City is both stable, as it is principle based, and dynamic, as it evolves with time and change. Our current mission includes a collective and important responsibility to:

- Assure a safe, healthy, family friendly environment for business, industrial, and residential use;
- Provide public utilities and services along with recreational and cultural opportunities;
- Provide an adequate, fully qualified administrative and technical staff to serve the public, maintain existing infrastructure, and manage community resources;
- Provide open access to City government, clearly documented by traditional news releases and letters, and by electronic means;
- Involve interested citizens by providing volunteer and appointed community service opportunities on boards, commissions, and committees, etc.;
- Plan to accommodate the future and inevitable change caused by growth, development and obsolescence.
