Description

I have evaluated the City of Arvada 2005-2006 Biennial Operating and Capital Budget against the Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program (DBPAP) criteria set forth by Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA).

The budget is reviewed under four major categories. The four major categories are, policy document, financial plan, operations guide, and the budget as a communication device.

This memo will end with a conclusion addressing how the budget serves as a tool to maintain and build public trust.
