Commission deletes redundant sentence, approves revised vision and mission language
Summary
After discussing whether a sentence belonged in the vision or mission statement, the commission voted to delete the redundant language and approved the updated vision and draft mission statement to move forward through the county review process.
The El Dorado County Historical Museum Commission reviewed its draft vision and mission statements on May 1 and voted to amend the documents before forwarding them for further administrative review.
Discussion centered on a sentence that some commissioners said read as action‑oriented (better suited to a mission) while others described it as duplicative of existing mission language. Commissioners debated whether the sentence should remain in the vision (aspirational) or be moved to the mission (operational). After a motion and subsequent amendment, the commission voted to delete the sentence as redundant and then approved the revised vision and the draft mission statement as amended.
Chair emphasized the commission’s authority to set vision and mission language and asked administration to confirm whether the change affected any downstream approvals. Bryce Veil (department director) said the commission’s action was the first step and that the department would carry the documents forward in the approval process.
The commission recorded the vote and indicated staff should confirm procedural steps with the county administration office as the documents advance toward any resolution or formal adoption processes.
