The award represents a significant achievement for the city and reflects the commitment to meet the highest principles of governmental budgeting.

“I am extremely proud of our budget team. Their hard work and dedication is apparent every day in the work they do. I commend the Mayor and City Council for their leadership and our residents for their input,” said City Manager Keith C. Rogers Jr.

The Certificate of Recognition for Budget Presentation was presented to Budget Manager Keyana Walston as part of the team primarily responsible for having achieved the award.
