City of Hendersonville Recognized for Distinguished Budget Presentation
The City of Hendersonville was awarded the Government Finance Officers Association Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its budget for fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018.
According to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), this award represents a significant achievement by the City of Hendersonville and reflects the commitment of the governing body and staff to meet the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to receive this award, the City of Hendersonville had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines and be rated ‘proficient’ in how well the budget serves as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide and communications device.
“I would like to congratulate Adam on a great job preparing the budget document,” said Hendersonville City Manager John Connet. “The preparation of this 367 page document takes a large of amount time and energy and Adam makes it look easy.”
During the council meeting on February 7, 2019, Adam Murr was presented with a Certificate of Recognition for Budget Presentation for having achieved the award. Adam is the City of Hendersonville’s Budget and Management Analyst whose primary responsibilities include the preparation and administration of the City's operating and capital budgets. City Manager John Connet recognized Adam Murr as well as Assistant City Manager Brian Pahle for their work on the budget document.
The GFOA established the Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program to encourage and assist state and local governments to prepare budget documents of the very highest quality that reflect both the guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and the GFOA's best practices on budgeting. The awards program also recognizes individual governments that succeed in achieving that goal. The City of Hendersonville has been recognized with this award every year since 2014.
