City Of Buda Receives Prestigious Budget Presentation Award For Third Consecutive Year

The City of Buda has received the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the Fiscal Year 2020 budget document.

This is the third consecutive year that the City of Buda’s Finance Department has received the award.

“I am very happy to receive such a prestigious finance award for the City’s Fiscal Year 2020 budget document,” said Finance Director June Ellis. “By receiving this award it displays the level of commitment and hard work of the Finance staff, as well as other employees throughout the organization, towards producing a document that conveys financial information in a clear and concise manner.”

As City Manager I am proud of the work that City Council and city staff contributed in making this possible. The City Council likewise expresses it personal appreciation to all involved in the City of Buda receiving the award. Kudos to the City of Buda.“

The City’s budget documents had to achieve a “proficient” rating in all four categories, and in the fourteen mandatory criteria within those categories, to receive the award.
