City Seeks Public Input Through Community Needs Assessment Survey

Survey Available in Multiple Formats Through December 15, 2009

NAPERVILLE, Ill. - As part of the City of Naperville's fiscal year
2009-2010 strategic planning process, the

Mayor's Advisory Commission for Disabilities (ACD) is conducting a
survey to identify community assets as

well as unmet service needs in the community, specifically for people
with disabilities.

The survey is now available on the city's Web site at
www.naperville.il.us/cnasurvey.aspx. Surveys must be

completed by Tuesday, December 15. Residents or interested parties may
also complete a paper version of the

survey, request to complete the survey by phone or take the survey via
another alternative format. All inquiries

of this nature should be directed to Accessibility Coordinator Marita
Manning at (630) 420-6725 or

manningm at naperville.il.us. Completed surveys can be faxed to (630)
305-7004 or mailed to City of Naperville,

Attn: Accessibility Coordinator Marita Manning, 1350 Aurora Ave.,
Naperville, IL 60540.

This survey is intended for those individuals with a developmental,
physical or mental disability; those who have

a family member with a developmental, physical or mental disability; or
those who care for a person with a

developmental, physical or mental disability. One survey should be
completed for each person with a disability.

When completing the survey, the information provided should only reflect
the personal needs of the individual

with the developmental, physical or mental disability and not the
perspective of anyone else completing the

survey.

The survey results will be compiled by the ACD in early 2010.
Subsequently, the ACD will share information

with the Mayor, City Council, city staff and the public to help develop
strategies consistent with goals in the

city's fiscal year 2009-2010 Strategic Plan.
