In order to receive the award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as a operations guide, as a financial plan, and as a communication 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. 4
