Rainbow Receives Distinguished Budget Award

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) honored Rainbow Municipal Water District this past April with their Certificate of Recognition for Budget Preparation for the District’s 2017 budget.  This is the first year the District has received this prestigious award, which is a monumental accomplishment and one of the District’s annual objectives in our strategic plan for achieving fiscal accountability.

The GFOA established the Distinguished Budget Presentation Awards Program (Budget Awards Program) in 1984 to encourage and assist state and local governments to prepare budget documents of the very highest 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 and then to recognize individual governments that succeed in achieving that goal.
