The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to County of Washoe, Nevada for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2005. In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan, and as a communications device.
This award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.

5 Assembly Bill 489 (AB489) approved in the 2005 Nevada Legislature continues to have an impact on property tax revenues. The adjustments required have been included in the recommended final budget. The final budgeted revenue from property taxes has been reduced by $9.1 million based on the estimated impact of AB489. The impact of this legislation is monitored closely during the year in comparison to the budgeted estimates to anticipate any adjustments that may need to be made. (See schedule on previous page, column 6, for detail of impacts.)
