It depends on which municipality you're looking at.
What you could rely on to identify those values include:
Form of government
Departments
Budget
Projects
Ordinances
Form of government
The two basic forms of municipal government are the council-manager form and the strong mayor form.
The council-manager form emphasizes unity (especially when it includes a unicameral council) and professional management (e.g. the hope is for the council to appoint a manager who is highly experienced, has an MPA degree and other educational qualifications, and so on).
On the other hand, the strong mayor form emphasizes separation of powers (by having the strong mayor being unaccountable to the council) and democratic management (by having the chief executive to be elected instead of appointed).
It's important to keep in mind that the council-manager form can also emphasize separation of powers (e.g. leaving legislative powers to the council and executive powers to the manager). However, the council's ability to fire the manager at-will can, in practice, give the council executive powers. To have a meaningful power separation in the council-manager form, measures need to be put in place that give and protect the autonomy of the manager (e.g. a written contract between the council and the manager).
Departments
What departments does the municipality have?
The police and fire departments can represent values of safety and protection. A parks & rec department can emphasize values of health.
How many departments does a municipality have? A municipality with a small amount of departments might have a focus on libertarian values.
Budget
What does the municipality’s money get spent on? How much?
Do the development departments recieve money? If so, which two departments get the greater share of the budget? The economic development department or the community development department?
What type of projects get funding from the municipality? Is it only construction projects that recieve funding or are there also other types of projects that recieve it?
Projects
Another way to look at projects, as a measure of values, is to look at which projects recieve the most focus.
For example, in a council-manager municipality, the council may give the manager a list of projects to focus on and complete. The most highly valued projects may be placed at the top of the list while the least valued projects may be placed at the bottom. Projects with no value to the municipality might not appear on the list at all.
Ordinances
What laws were created by the municipality and what are those laws against?
Laws against smoking and drinking may represent health being treated as valuable.
Laws requiring schools to have prayer times would represent religion being treated as valuable.
