Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) & Distinguished Budget Presentation Award

Happy Valley has received the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the 2021-2022 budget. This is one of the highest financial honors the City can receive. Happy Valley’s Finance Department works diligently to ensure we spend taxpayer dollars effectively. To receive the award, the budget is reviewed by three independent financial experts based on a set of criteria to ensure the budget serves as a solid transparent financial and operations plan. Out of 241 cities in Oregon, only 34 cities have received this award.

Financial reports and budgets are crucial for tracking the financial strength of our city.
