Dear Mr. Ortega:
We are pleased to notify you that your comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007
qualifies for a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. The Certificate of Achievement is the
highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant
accomplishment by a government and its management.
The Certificate of Achievement plaque will be shipped to:
Paul S. Gibson
Director of Finance/City Treasurer
under separate cover in about eight weeks. We hope that you will arrange for a formal presentation of the Certificate and
Award of Financial Reporting Achievement, and that appropriate publicity will be given to this notable achievement. To
assist with this, enclosed are a sample news release and the Certificate Program "Results" for reports with fiscal years
ended during 2006 representing the most recent statistics available.
We hope that your example will encourage other government officials in their efforts to achieve and maintain an
appropriate standard of excellence in financial reporting.
Sincerely,
Government Finance Officers Association
