Kingsport is pleased to announce it has received Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its budget.
The award represents a significant achievement by the city. It reflects the commitment of the governing body and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to receive the budget award, Kingsport had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well a city’s budget serves as:
• a policy document
• a financial plan
• an operations guide
• a communications device
Budget documents must be rated “proficient” in all four categories, and in the fourteen mandatory criteria within those categories, to receive the award.
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 having achieved the award. City Manager Jeff Fleming and Budget Director Judy Smith received the certificate.
“This award represents years of sustained effort,” said Jeff Fleming, city manager. “We should never take this commendation for granted. Judy Smith and John Morris do a great job and it’s fitting that they are recognized for exceeding the highest national standards.”
There are over 1,600 participants in the Budget Awards Program. The most recent Budget Award recipients, along with their corresponding budget documents, are posted quarterly on GFOA’s website. Award recipients have pioneered efforts to improve the quality of budgeting and provide an excellent example for other governments throughout North America.
