FINANCE
• The National Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) announced that the City of Lakeville
was one of 12 winners of the GFOA 2020 Financial Policy Challenge. The purpose of the Challenge
was to encourage members to adopt and share financial policies that are essential to a strong
financial foundation. Policies had to meet at least seven of the nine policy areas/categories. City
staff submitted Lakeville’s “Financial Sustainability and Resiliency Policy” (adopted by the City
Council in January 2020). This policy met the GFOA’s policy area/category requirements. Winners
of the Financial Policy Challenge will be profiled in an upcoming issue of Government Finance Review.
The policy is available on the City’s website:

stores. Kenrick is closing the gap on 2019 customer counts. Sales per transaction are holding strong and

Product Breakout
Nan’s Original and Spicy Bloody Mary Mix
$10.99
Perfect for Father’s Day!
From Nan’s website:
One year a bumper crop of tomatoes led our Mom, Nan to
create & jar a very special bloody mary mix. Being raised
to never let anything go unused, she crafted this mix not
only to sip on a Sunday with some vodka, but to use as a
base in many of her favorite recipes. Nan's can be used to
add a naughty kick to a refreshing bloody mary or to add a
nice flavor boost to your favorite dishes. We hope you are
inspired by our mom & this bottle of wholesome goodness.
Enjoy!
