The City Council recently recognized Finance Director Tara Musick for being awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
This prestigious award is given to state and local governments that go beyond the minimum requirements of generally accepted accounting principles to prepare comprehensive annual financial reports that evidence the spirit of transparency and full disclosure. The report this year is a mere 175 pages long.
The City of Bristol has received this award for the 8th consecutive year and is one of only 27 cities in Tennessee to be so awarded this year.
Thanks to Tara and her staff for a job well done, year-after year.
