<br />7 <br />Awards and Acknowledgements <br />The Government Finance Officers Association of the Unite d States and Canada (GFOA) awards the Certificate of <br />Achievement for excellence in financial reporting to citi es that meet certain criteria. The City of Lino Lakes <br />received this award for its comprehensive annual financ ial report for the year ended December 31, 2011. This <br />marks the sixteenth consecutive year the City has received this prestigious award. A governmental unit must <br />publish an easily readable and efficiently organized compre hensive annual financial repor t, the contents of which <br />conform to program requirements. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and <br />applicable legal requirements. <br /> <br />A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. The City is submitting the 2012 report to <br />GFOA for consideration of the Certificate of Achievemen t for Excellence in Financia l Reporting. We believe our <br />current report continues to conform to the high standards of the Certificate program. <br /> <br />The timely preparation of this report could not have been accomplished without the dedicated services of the <br />Finance Department, auditors and other city staff. A sp ecial thank you goes to city accountant, Paula Schloer, for <br />her efforts in assembling and reviewing information pr esented in this report. I also want to express my <br />appreciation to the Mayor and City Council for thei r support for maintaining the highest standard of <br />professionalism in the management of the financial operation of the City. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> Alan J. Rolek <br />Director of Finance <br />
