In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a <br /> budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an <br /> operations guide, as a financial plan, and as a communications device. <br /> This award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget <br /> continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA <br /> to determine its eligibility for another award. <br /> A press release is enclosed. <br /> The Government Finance Officers Association encourages you to make arrangements for <br /> a formal presentation of the award. If you would like the award presented by a member <br /> of your state or provincial finance officers association,we can provide the name of a <br /> contact person for that group. <br /> We appreciate your participation in this program and we sincerely hope that your example <br /> will encourage others in their efforts to achieve and maintain excellence in governmental <br /> budgeting. The most current list of award recipients(with hyperlinks) can be found on GFOA's <br /> website at www.gfoa.org.
