REQUESTED MOTION/ACTION
recommendation
Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) established the Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program (Budget Awards Program) in 1984 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 and then to recognize individual governments that succeed in achieving that goal. Approximately 1,800 governments, including states, cities, counties, special districts, school districts, and more have been recognized for transparency in budgeting. To earn recognition, budget documents must meet program criteria and excel as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide, and communication tool. Charlotte County Fiscal Services has been honored with this prestigious award this year for their submission of the county’s Budget Book which recounts the implementation of the two-year Budget Cycle for fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
Charlotte County’s Fiscal Year 2026 and 2027 Budget Book can be found on the county’s transparency page.
