This year this award is a little extra special in <br /> that we were without the Finance Director and Assistant Finance Director during the timing <br /> of the preparation of the budget. Our new Finance Director and Assistant Finance Director <br /> came on board during that process. This was a very difficult time period, we are always in <br /> good financial shape,but getting everything together was quite a task this year. Besides the <br /> Mayor's expertise we had some considerable help from Executive Assistant to City Manager <br /> Cheryl Williams,and from Cultural and Community Services Director Susan Simpson with <br /> her institutional knowledge of many of these projects. In light of these special circumstances <br /> this year he invited not only the Finance Department up to accept this award but also Susan <br /> and Cheryl. The Commission presented the Certificate of Recognition for Budget <br /> Preparation Award to Finance Director Audra Curts-Whann on behalf of the team including <br /> Finance staff: Assistant Finance Director Tiffany Neely-Jean; Accounting Tech.
