Dear Mr. Gray:
We are pleased to inform you, based on the examination of your budget document by a panel of
independent reviewers, that your budget document has been awarded the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Award from Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the current fiscal
period. This award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting. Its attainment
represents a significant achievement by your organization.
The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is valid for one year. To continue your participation
in the program, it will be necessary to submit your next annual budget document to GFOA within 90
days of the proposed budget's submission to the legislature or within 90 days of the budget's final
adoption. A Distinguished Budget Program application is posted on GFOA's website. This
application must be completed and accompany your next submission. (See numbers 12 and 13 on
page 2 of the application for fee information and submission instructions.)
Each program participant is provided with confidential comments and suggestions for possible
improvements to the budget document. Your comments are enclosed. We urge you to carefully
consider the suggestions offered by our reviewers as you prepare your next budget.
When a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is granted to an entity, a Certificate of
Recognition for Budget Presentation is also presented to the individual(s) or department designated as
being primarily responsible for its having achieved the award. Enclosed is a Certificate of
Recognition for Budget Preparation for:
Clayton Gray, Finance Director
Continuing participants will find a brass medallion enclosed with these results. First-time recipients
will receive an award plaque that will be mailed separately and should arrive within eight to ten
weeks. Also enclosed is a camera-ready reproduction of the award for inclusion in your next budget.
If you reproduce the camera-ready image in your next budget, it should be accompanied by a
