Finance Department Recognized

March 11, 2008

The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) is pleased to announce that City of Clayton, Missouri has received the GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its Fiscal Year 2008 Budget. This award is the highest form of recognition and reflects the commitment of the governing body and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting.

The award represents significant achievement, and in order to receive the budget award, the City was required to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity’s budget serves as: a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a
communications device. The budget must be rated “proficient” in all four categories to receive the award.

Specific recognition goes out to the entire City of Clayton Finance Department staff headed by Finance Director Donald J Yucuis.
