This is the highest form of recognition in government budgeting and represents a significant achievement by the City.

The GFOA Distinguished Budget Award was established to encourage 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. Municipalities must satisfy the four nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation including: a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device.
