For the first time ever, the city of Lafayette's financial reporting won the "Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting," from the Government Finance Officers Association.

The award recognizes the quality of municipal financial management that goes beyond the minimum requirements, offering full disclosure and transparency.

Credit goes to Financial Services Manager Jennifer Wakeman and other city staff for putting together the city's comprehensive annual financial report.

At a brief presentation at the July 25 city council meeting, City Manager Steven Falk explained that the award, "Speaks to the level of diligence and energy that Jennifer Wakeman has brought to the job," and publicly thanked her for her hard work.
