Book 72 — Page 57 CENTRAL CONTRA COSTA SANITARY DISTRICT May 2, 2024 Board Meeting Minutes - Book 72-Page 58 Member McGill asked if there were any suggestions received from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) that identified processes that could be improved and what action was taken in response to those suggestions. Mr. Mizuno responded that through the Budget review process, the need for a visual representation of the variances between the Adopted Budget and the Amended Budget was indicated. Staff has since added that data and Budget amendments are now captured and clearly represented as part of the process. Deputy General Manager Administration Phil Leiber added that the District does spend a substantial amount of time developing a Ten -Year Financial Plan that had not typically been included in the Budget Book, but the GFOA indicated that a description of the Financial Plan should be included going forward, and staff began doing so in FY 2022-23. That is an example of the type of improvements that can come about from looking to GFOA for "best practices". BOARD ACTION: Received the award. 2.
