As a result, a work group from Finance and the Executive team has been spending much of our last two months in a windowless conference room on the 7<sup>th<\/sup> Floor.\u00a0 We have been evaluating department plans and budget requests, assessing where our scarce resources must be invested.<\/p>\n<p>Our conversations around the conference room table remind me a bit of the conversations some of you may also have had around your family kitchen table growing up. Do you remember the old \u201cwant\u201d versus \u201cneed\u201d chat? I certainly do.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s my responsibility to make sure we are on firm, stable financial footing not for just next year but for the next 5, even 10, years from now.\u00a0 We may have had a nice rebound from the Recession but I also realize that economic conditions move in cycles and we must\u00a0prepare for a\u00a0potential slowdown ahead.\u00a0 In fact, we\u2019ve already seen signs of a softening housing market.<\/p>\n<p>My thanks to Gary Robinson, Jim Dickman and Julie Demuth for their tremendous work and long hours on developing the 2019 budget. \u00a0I also appreciate the time and effort of our department directors, and their financial managers, as they prepared their budgets \u2013 and responded to numerous questions and explored options. We will formally introduce the budget to the Council on September 18th.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the budget process will be easier in future years\u00a0should voters approve the biennial charter amendment.<\/p>\n<p>Switching gears, it\u2019s also that time of the year where we celebrate and recognize some stellar performances by our colleagues and co-workers!\u00a0 The nominations for the annual Standing Ovation Awards have been released, and I want to add my hearty \u201cwoo hoo\u201d to the chorus of cheers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1275\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.piercecountywa.gov\/executive\/files\/2018\/08\/SOA_nobanner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"711\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.piercecountywa.gov\/executive\/files\/2018\/08\/SOA_nobanner.jpg 711w, https:\/\/blog.piercecountywa.gov\/executive\/files\/2018\/08\/SOA_nobanner-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 711px) 100vw, 711px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There were 37 people nominated in the Innovation category, 5 individuals in the Leadership category, 25 people nominated in the Partners in Service category and 2 in the Sustainability category.
