Gary Laubacker
Financial Services


Gary was presented
and honored before the City Commission
on Monday, June 7, 2010

 

Gary Laubacker, Chief Finance Management Analyst, Finance, was hired as a Senior Accountant in 1982 and has accomplished many goals in that department.

Working as the Chief Fianance Management Analyst, Gary’s on-going duties include billing pre-annexation agreements, updating bond disclosure requirements, preparing information for rating agencies/bond offerings, projecting the City’s revenues for budget and other purposes, interfacing with the Citizens Tax Oversight committee, interfacing with the CRA Advisory Board, presenting at the Citizens’ Academy, preparing sections of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, Collaborating on the Montly Financial Reports, Collaborating on the Budget, and preparing financial analyses, as needed.

In addition, Gary has been a valuable member of the Finance team by working on projects such as obtaining the Certificate of Achievement in financial reporting award from the GFOA (Government Finance Officers Association), obtaining the Distinguished Budget Award from GFOA and serving as interim Finance Department Manager for the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.

Gary is very customer service oriented. He takes the extra time to give a full explanation to callers who have questions about pre-annexation billings, real estate taxes, the TIF district, etc. He is always willing to assist other co-workers when a major deadline is looming or help cover the phones. Gary’s willingness and can-do attitude makes him an invaluable asset to the department and to the City.

Congratulations!
