GREETINGS FROM THE SUPERVISOR
* '1 * -- . , Dear Residents:
tk
{ .?/) _ I am happy to present our 2004 Annual
P '� Report. In the pages that follow each department
has reported on its projects and statistics for the
a ,. year. It was a very good year, indeed. The
Independent Auditor's Report affirms that we are
in good financial condition and have retained our
1 AAA Bond Rating from Moody's Investor's
IService. This is the highest rating granted to local governments for municipal bonds.
During the summer we conducted a residents' survey in the unincorporated area and
the Town received an 80% approval rating for delivery of the current programs and
services.
While the Town Council sets the policies and goals for our government, the employees
help to accomplish them. We thank them for their professionalism and dedication in
delivering such a high level of service to our residents. We also thank our volunteer
Boards and Commissions for their generosity in sharing their talents for the benefit of
our Town.
Sincerely,
1 il 4
Valerie Moore O'Keeffe
