Cordova Recreation & Park District (CRPD) has been honored with the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the most recent qualifying year. This prestigious recognition highlights CRPD’s commitment to excellence in governmental budgeting and transparency. The award is a testament to the District’s success in producing budget documents that meet the highest standards of quality that reflect both the guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and the GFOA’s best practices on budgeting. To earn recognition, budget documents must meet program criteria and excel as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide and communication tool.
Matt Goodell, Chief Financial Officer at CRPD, presented the award at the June Board Meeting and said, “I want to proudly announce and present the Government Finance Officers Association Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for this past qualifying year. Approximately 1,800 governments, including states, cities, counties, special districts, school districts and more have been recognized for transparency in budgeting. CRPD is one of three park special districts in California to receive this award!”
This remarkable achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of the CRPD team, and we are proud to be recognized for our commitment to transparency, accountability and excellence in public service.
