For the 14th consecutive year, the City of Northville has received a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). A Certification of Recognition for Budget Presentation for fiscal year 2019 was presented to Sandi Wiktorowski, finance director/treasurer for the city.
Northville met the nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation, which requires that a budget be developed to serve in four categories: as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide and communications device, according to the association.
The GFOA professional association serves more than 20,500 appointed and elected government officials at the local, state and provincial level, and other finance practitioners. The organization recognizes the recipients for their innovative efforts to improve the quality of budgeting and provide a prime example for other governments throughout North America, stated a prepared release from the group.
