have evaluated the City of Haltom’s Annual Budget for Fiscal 2016 budget using the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommended budget practices.

The City of Haltom has received the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for fiscal years 1987-2014. The budgets prepared for submission have been recognized with the GFOA Distinguished Budget award annually since 1989 with exception of one year. The City continues to participate successfully in these two programs and follow mandatory and non-mandatory guidelines of the GFOA.

The City’s budget for FY2016 appears to continue to conform to the GFOA program requirements and upon submission of their budget I have no doubt their budget for FY 2016 will receive a GFOA Distinguished Budget award.
