BACKGROUND:
In 2015, the Naperville City Council and the Director's Leadership Team (DLT) developed four ends policies (Public Safety, High Performing Government, Economic Development, Financial Stability) to not only help define what the City wants to be, but also to guide staff on how to get there.
