HALLOWEEN IN THE PARK - SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23 The Special Events Committee is making plans for the City of Nassau Bay’s annual Halloween Carnival at David Braun Park on Saturday, October 23rd from 6-8PM. Come join the fun! As in past years, there will be a costume contest. Start planning to dress up the family! Judging will begin at 6:45PM. Prizes will be awarded according to age groups, as in previous years. New this year - there will be a prize for the best group costume! So, bring the princesses, angels, and heroes and put on your best. A hayride, games and a “trunk or treat trail” will thrill the little ones. The ever-popular DJ, haunted trail and campfire s'mores will round out the evening. We are in need of volunteers to help run the carnival games and the haunted trail, so if your teen is in need of volunteer hours, please contact staceyamdur@gmail.com. In addition, we are inviting local businesses to join in the trunk or treat fun. Businesses should contact Stacey Amdur for more information.
The City of Nassau Bay will be creating a dedicated event page on Facebook for Halloween in the Park. Check out the City's Facebook, facebook.com/nassaubay, to find the page and stay up to date!
CITY RECEIVES DISTINGUISHED BUDGET AWARD Award recognizes consistent fiscal responsibility, transparency
For the 8th consecutive year, the City of Nassau Bay has been awarded the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). “This award is a reflection of the City’s continued commitment to ensure fiscal responsibility and transparency,” City Manager Jason Reynolds said. “The budget report is highly detailed yet organized and simplified in a way that the public can easily find and understand the information within the report. I would like to acknowledge the work of our entire staff, but especially that of our Finance Department under the leadership of Director Csilla Ludanyi, for this longstanding achievement.” In order to receive this award, the City had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget
presentation. The guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity’s budget serves as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communication tool. Budget documents must be rated “proficient” in all four categories and in the fourteen mandatory criteria within those categories, to receive the award. When a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is granted to an entity, a Certificate of Recognition for Budget Presentation is also presented to the individual(s) or department designated as being primarily responsible for its having achieved the award. This award has been presented to the Nassau Bay Finance Department. View the City of Nassau Bay’s award-winning budget at www.nassaubay.com/budget.
