The award is for the Town's Fiscal Year 2015 budget and comprehensive financial plan. In order to receive the honor, a governmental unit must publish a budget document that meets program criteria as a policy document, financial plan, operations guide and communications device. To receive the award, budget documents must be rated "proficient" in all four categories and in the 14 mandatory criteria within those categories. "These types of awards are made possible by the organization's commitment to excellence in budget reporting," said Finance Director Erik Montague. The GFOA is a nonprofit association that serves more than 18,000 government finance professionals in North America. Ir LEGISLATIVE UPDATE • w CAPITOL ACTIVITY F F F r r f March 20 is the deadline for bills to be heard in committee. There -f will be a great deal of activity in the chamber before then. Here are key bills that the Town is watching. HB 2570 municipalities; vegetation requirements; prohibition Prohibits local jurisdictions from making specific vegetation requirements of private property owners. This bill would effectively make illegal the Town's native plant preservation program, and is therefore a top priority. 0 N I H B 2320 firearms; permit holders; public places Allows individuals with permits to carry firearms in public buildings or at public events, unless the public agency provides screening equipment (i.e. metal detectors) and security personnel. The Town is opposing this bill on the basis that it preempts local ■ control. El H B 2324 intergovernmental agreements; public agency indemnification This League- supported bill would alter indemnification agreements so the indemnifying agency needs to hold the other entity harmless only for the agency's negligent acts. 4 • • LEGISLATIVE UPDATE r r STATE BUDGET PASSES Early Saturday morning, March 7, the legislature passed a state budget package in collaboration with Governor Ducey. The g p g Y budget reflects an effort to balance the state's finances without increasing revenues. Many areas of government were slimmed down. Universities took a 13% cut in state funding, while community colleges in Maricopa and Pima counties lost their funding entirely. Local governments are not directly affected in any major ways. It is yet to be seen, however, in which way the Department of Revenue will choose to administer the state - shared revenue collection fee system. The League of Arizona Cities and Towns is seeking a Memorandum of Understanding with the DOR so that a fixed . method of collection can be determined. Things to watch for in the coming months: HURF SWEEPS: While the diversion of HURF funds has not been increased according to the current budget, the legislature also declined to increase the motor vehicle registration tax, the proceeds of which were to be used to fund the Department of Public Safety. It is questionable whether DPS will require further funds, which have come out of HURF in the past. EDUCATION PAYBACKS: The budget does not account for the entirety of what is owed to the K -12 system, as determined by � the courts. If the court case is upheld and no settlement is reached, the state will likely need to make more cuts in order to pay the full � cost.
