Extracted text
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented a
Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to the City of Oakland for its biannual budget for the fiscal
years 2011-12 and 2012-13.
In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets
program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan and as a
communications device.
The award is valid for a period of one budget cycle only. We believe our current budget for fiscal
years 2013-14 and 2014-15, continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting
it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.
