4 The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) presented a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award to NEW CASTLE COUNTY, DELAWARE for its annual budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1, In order to receive this award, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, as an operations guide, as a financial plan and as a communications device. This prestigious award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting that a local government can receive. Of nearly 40,000 units of local government eligible throughout the U. S. and Canada, an average of only 2% receive this honor each year. The award is valid for a period of one year only. We believe our current budget continues to conform to program requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award. This is the 26th consecutive year that New Castle County has merited this award. i
