The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has awarded the City of Fillmore with their Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its budget.

This award represents a significant achievement and reflects the commitment of the city council and staff to meeting the highest principles of government budgeting. In order to receive the budget award, the City had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation.

This is the first time the City has received this award. “Receiving this award is another step in our continuous improvement efforts. Gaylynn Brien, Finance Director and her staff have done a wonderful job” said David W. Rowlands, City Manager.

The GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program is the only national awards program in governmental budgeting.
