Dear Citizens of Naperville,
 I am pleased to present the City of Naperville’s Citizen’s Financial Report regarding the finances and administrative activities of the city for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2008. This report provides a brief analysis of where the city revenue comes from and where the dollars are spent, as well as trends in the local economy. Importantly, the report is designed to present an understandable and easy to read financial report.
The report is intended to summarize the financial activities of the City of Naperville government and was drawn from the financial information appearing in the 2008 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). This report is unaudited and not presented in a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) format.
On behalf of the Mayor and City Council, I thank you for taking a moment to pick up and read our Citizen’s Financial Report. We are proud to serve the residents of Naperville and consider this report to be a notable achievement as we seek to enhance the level of accountability to our taxpayers.
This year the city began to see a slowdown in economic growth. My staff and I are committed to continue to promote economic development along with addressing the slowdown of the economy.
During the coming year, city officials and administration will continue planning for the future by working with residents through town hall meetings, public information meetings, developing long-range strategic plans and continuing to promote economic development.
Robert W. Marshall
City Manager Pro Tem
