In order to receive this award, Dutchess County was required to publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, operations guide, financial plan, and communications device. Although the award is valid for the fiscal year in which it is awarded, we believe the 2015 budget document continues to successfully meet program requirements, and has been submitted to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another award.
