Expansion of the Public Safety Facility broke ground to build out the police department second floor office space, expand the police parking garage, and add fire department office space and training rooms. Plans were approved for spring 2021 construction of Fire Station #3 to ensure fire protection services for our primary residential growth area during the future construction of Highway 169. Awards and Acknowledgements The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Elk River for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. This was the 31st consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. The City received the GFOA Award for the Distinguished Budget Presentation for the City budget for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. It was the 12th consecutive year the City received the award for the document. The preparation of this report is made possible by the efficient and dedicated services of the entire staff of the City Administrator's office and Finance Department. The Mayor and City Council are to be commended for their diligence and resolve in keeping the City in sound and stable financial condition. The City Council's commitment to continually plan for the City's future and dedication to maintain high financial standards has helped the City maintain its strong financial condition during a period of growth and market changes. Respectfully submitted, Lori Ziemer Finance Director (4)
