Santa’s on his way, Milton!

Are you fired up for Santa's trip through Milton? He'll be weaving through the city very, very soon on a Milton fire engine, flanked by a Milton police escort, to spread some Christmas cheer. Check out the list on this post to see exactly where he'll be. We hope that many residents can come outside and say "Hello!" to our very special visitor to the North Pole. And we expect you will! Just be careful when parking to leave enough room for the fire engine; last thing we want is... Santa's "sleigh" to be stuck. Merry Christmas to all -- and to all a great day! #GetFiredUp #HoHoHo #SpecialGuest #WelcomeSanta #MiltonGa

For the 12th straight year, the City of Milton has earned an award for its Comprehensive Annual Finance Report -- a thorough accounting of how the City manages its resources. In a recent letter, the GFOA of the US & Canada (with GFOA standing for Government Finance Officers Association, which represents thousands of public finance organizations throughout North America) recognized that Milton had qualified for its report for FY2019. You can review the report (which is for the... year that began Oct. 1, 2018, and ended September 30, 2019) by clicking here: https://www.cityofmiltonga.us/home/showpublisheddocument. This award reflects the City Finance Department's hard work, not just in putting together the report (known as CAFR) but also in being responsible stewards of Milton residents and businesses tax dollars. That's a 365/24/7 responsibility that the City takes very seriously. #MiltonProud #AwardWinning #FinanceGoals #MiltonGa
