The County bid a fond farewell to Joseph “Joe” Beach who, over the course of 28 years, served as Assistant Chief Administrative Officer, the as Director of Management and Budget, and finally as Director of Finance. Beach was a strong advocate for the County’s priority initiatives, six-point economic plan, and restructured reserve policies while at the same time leading the effort to solve $2.5 billion in budget gaps and slow the rate of growth in expenditures, resulting in significantly strengthened reserves for the future.
