Chicago --The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
is pleased to announce that Weld County, Colorado has received the GFOA's Distinguished
Budget Presentation Award for its budget.
The award represents a significant achievement by the entity. 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, the entity had 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
• a communications device
Budget documents must be rated "proficient" in all four categories, and 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 or department designated as being
primarily responsible for its having achieved the award. This has been presented to Donald D.
Warden, Director, Finance & Administration.
For budgets including fiscal period 2007, 1,166 entities received the Award. Award recipients have
pioneered efforts to improve the quality of budgeting and provide an excellent example for other
governments throughout North America.
The Government Finance Officers Association is a nonprofit professional association serving over
17,600 government finance professionals throughout North America. The GFOA's Distinguished
Budget Presentation Awards Program is the only national awards program in governmental
budgeting.

Distinguished
Budget
PRESENTATION
Award
• The GFOA's Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program has been promoting the
preparation of high quality budget documents since 1984. More than 1,200 governments
participate in the program each year. Participants include governments of all levels (state and
local), types (general-purpose and special-purpose), and sizes.
• The Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program is specifically designed to encourage
state and local governments to prepare and issue budget documents of the highest quality. Top-
quality budget documents are essential if citizens and others with an interest in a government's
finances are to be full and informed participants in the budget process. Better budget documents
contribute to better decision making and enhanced accountability.
• The Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program allows the public finance profession a
welcome opportunity to recognize those governments that have, in fact, succeeded in preparing
a high quality budget document. This recognition can be viewed as a positive factor by credit rating
agencies and by others interested in the professionalism of a government's finance function.
• A sliding fee scale based on expenditures makes participation in the Distinguished Budget
Presentation Awards Program affordable for even the smallest governments.
