ICMA's Program Excellence Award for Innovations in Local Government Management recognizes one or more local governments that have successfully applied the concepts of reinvention, reengineering, TQM, customization, or other cutting-edge organizational tool or have successfully enhanced an existing program or service. In 2005, ICMA presented the award in the less than-10,000 population category to the city of Beloit, Kansas, and City Administrator Doug Gerber for the city's Street Improvement Program. Through innovative funding and construction methods, the city assisted property owners by paving previously dirt roads. Learn more about ICMA's Annual Awards program.
