Dear Ms. Gesick:
We are pleased to notify you that your annual comprehensive financial report for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2020 qualifies for GFOA's Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial
Reporting. The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting
and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and
its management.
When a Certificate of Achievement is awarded to a government, an Award of Financial Reporting
Achievement (AFRA) is also presented to the individual(s) or department designated by the government
as primarily responsible for its having earned the Certificate. This award has been sent to the submitter as
designated on the application.
We hope that you will arrange for a formal presentation of the Certificate and Award of Financial
Reporting Achievement, and give appropriate publicity to this notable achievement. A sample news
release is included to assist with this effort.
We hope that your example will encourage other government officials in their efforts to achieve and
maintain an appropriate standard of excellence in financial reporting.
Sincerely,
ditzzAdd;_
