The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award was presented to the Castaic Lake Water Agency by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for its FY 2015/16 Budget.
To receive the award, the budget document must be rated “proficient” in all four categories that demonstrate how well the budget serves as a (1) policy document, (2) financial plan, (3) operations guide and (4) communications device. The award reflects the commitment of the governing body and staff to meet the highest principles of governmental budgeting. This is the tenth consecutive year in which the Agency has received this award.
Valerie Pryor, Administrative Services Manager for the Castaic Lake Water Agency, received a Certificate of Recognition for Budget Presentation for being primarily responsible for preparing the award-winning budget.
The FY 2015/16 Budget has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program. Award recipients have pioneered efforts to improve the quality of budgeting and provide an excellent example for other governments throughout North America. The GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program is the only national awards program in governmental budgeting.
CLWA General Manager Dan Masnada stated “Castaic Lake Water Agency is honored to have earned the GFOA Distinguished Budget Award for the tenth consecutive year. This award-winning document not only outlines our strategic plan for the fiscal year, but demonstrates our financial transparency and commitment to most cost-effectively and efficiently provide an increasingly valuable resource to the Santa Clarita Valley. This is of the utmost importance to CLWA – especially during this prolonged extreme drought – and we are proud to present this very important publication to our community.”
