City’s Finance Department wins Excellence Award for 16th straight Year

Nov 2, 2007

The City of Port St. Lucie’s Finance Department was recognized recently for excellence and professionalism in the way the department accounts for public money.

The Government Finance Officer’s Association chose the city for the special recognition because of the high quality of the city’s 2006 comprehensive annual financial report. The GFOA is a professional association of state and local finance officers in the United States and Canada, with 16,000 members involved in training, publishing, consulting and lobbying.

The association said, “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.”

A plaque noting the accomplishment will be sent to Marcia Dedert, the city’s finance director, for display at City Hall.
