Weekly Wash. Co. updates – Herb Tennies to be recognized for 50 years of service

  • Tuesday, March 8thAs a reminder, there will be a cake and coffee reception to celebrate Herb’s retirement from 12-2 in advance of the County Board meeting on Tuesday. Please remember to park in the East Parking Lot on Tuesday! 
  • Priority Based Budgeting Peer Review – As part of our priority based budgeting process, all departments were asked to “score” their programs against the “Results” that the County Board established earlier this year.  This week, we conducted a series of peer review meetings to standardize these scores throughout the County.  We are now in the final steps of scoring and costing all of the County’s programs and are excited to work through the outcome of the process.  Currently, a review of the County’s priorities and overview of the process outcome is scheduled for the County Board meeting in May. 
  • Kiwanis Presentation – On Wednesday morning I was invited to be the speaker at the Early Risers Kiwanis meeting in West Bend.  The speech included a brief update on the Fair Park Stage, Annex II/Senior Center Demolition, Herb Tennies 50 Years of Service and Priority Based Budgeting.  In addition, a flurry of interesting questions were asked on subjects from multi-use trail system expansion to property tax reduction.  Thanks to the Kiwanis Early Risers’ for the opportunity to provide the update!
  • Capital Improvement Plan – In the past week Assistant to the County Administrator Ludovic, Finance Director Margie Hamers and I have been working on taking the proposed 2017-2021 CIP projects and working to align dollars to each project.  As of this afternoon we are very close to completion of the “Administrator’s Recommended CIP”. The recommended proposal will be formally presented to Executive Committee on Tuesday, March 22.
