• Way to go, Port of Friday Harbor! Here’s the news from Deanna there:

Congratulations to the Port Auditors!

At the October 12 meeting of the Friday Harbor Port Commissioners, the Board received a letter of congratulations from Washington State Auditor, Brian Sonntag. The letter commended the Port for ten years of “no audit findings”, which reflects strong oversight of operations and accurate financial reporting.  The Port is audited each year for compliance with reporting requirements and accountability for public resources.  Marilyn O’Connor and Phyllis Johnson, the Port Director and Port Auditor, were complimented by Mr. Sonntag on their proactive approach and excellent controls of the Port’s finances.  The State Auditor explained “Our office views its relationship with the Port as a model for other entities in our state.”
