800KF,'Jr. Jeff Barton, Clerk of the Circuit Court, announced that this is the 9th consecutive year that we have received this award which has been very beneficial in both financial reporting and obtaining lower interest rates on bond issues. We have adhered to a standard that is accepted throughout the country as to how county govern- ments report their financial condition to their constituents and to the state in which they are located. Indian River is one of 29 counties in Florida to have received this award, and only 10 percent of the counties nationwide have received this award. In considering this award, one of the major items is the statistical history that goes back 10 years; another is how well Fixed Assets are tracked and controlled. There is a lot of preparation, background and history that goes into filing a report, and we are about ready to submit the financial report for FY 1991-92 which ended September 30. Mr. Barton wished to thank the Board and financial staff for all the work and effort that went into this report. Mr. Barton advised that it is customary for the latest plaque to be on display in the BCC area with the earlier awards displayed in the Clerk's Office upstairs. Chairman Bird commended Mr. Barton and the financial staff for receiving this award and advised -that the plaque will be displayed in a prominent place.
