Fishers budget receives award

The Town of Fishers has won the Government Finance Officers Association’s (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the second consecutive year. The award, the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting, was based on Fishers’ budget for the 2008 fiscal year.

“The Town Council is committed to excellence in budgeting because they know our residents deserve the highest level of professionalism in management of their tax dollars,” said Fishers Town Manager Gary Huff. “It’s nice to be honored for work that we believe in.”

The award reflects the commitment of the Fishers Town Council and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to receive the award, Fishers had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentations. These guidelines address how well Fishers’ budget serves as:

- A policy document
- A financial plan
- An operations guide
- A communications device

Fishers’ budget was rated “proficient” in all four categories.

A Certificate of Recognition for Budget Presentation was presented to Gary A. Huff.

The Government Finance Officers Association if a nonprofit professional association serving 17,500 government finance professionals throughout North America. The GFOA’s Distinguished Presentation Awards Program is the only national awards program in governmental budgeting.
