body
BACKGROUND:
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) established the Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program in 1984 to encourage and assist state and local governments to prepare budget documents of the very highest quality that reflect both the guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and the GFOA’s best practices on budgeting and then to recognize individual governments that succeed in achieving that goal.
Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 represents the 17th consecutive year that the City has received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the GFOA.
This award demonstrates the continued efforts and commitment of the Finance and Administrative Services Department in producing a high-quality budget document that serves as a policy document, an operations guide, a financial plan, and a communications device.
