| The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) sponsors a
Budget Award program to
"to encourage governments to prepare budget documents of the highest quality to
meet the needs of decision-makers and citizens." The City of Sandy, when it used
a paper-based budget document, has in the past been a recipient of the GFOA
Award for Distinguished Budget Presentation. We are submitting this web-based
budget document to GFOA for consideration for this award. This format lends itself especially well to the GFOA awards
program. As a former "reviewer" for GFOA's budget award program, Sandy's budget
officer has spent hours flipping through pages of other governments' budget
documents, trying to find evidence of the various award criteria. The web-based
format allows the reviewer to use simple hyperlinks to the relevant sections of
the budget "document," for easy navigation with a web browser.
Suggestions for GFOA Reviewers:
- Skim quickly through the entire budget "document" (just
like you would a paper document). To do this, start at the
Budget Home Page. At the bottom of each page is a
link to the "next" page that will take you through the entire document. Of
course, one of the main advantages of the web-based budget is that the reader
is free to explore the budget information in any order desired, and to "drill
down" from summary information to more detailed information at will. The
Budget Home Page includes a Table of Contents
with hyperlinks to all parts of the budget web site.
-
The "Detailed Criteria Location Guide"
is also on-line, as noted above.
