Port of Seattle Names Steve Miller to Audit Committee

Longtime Seattle accountant brings government finance, accounting expertise

At its most recent meeting, the Port of Seattle Commission voted to name Steven G. Miller to the organization's Audit Committee. Miller is a founding member of Miller and Miller, P.S., a firm that specializes in financial services for governments and not-for-profit clients. He has over two decades of experience advising public agencies, including state agencies, cities, and counties. In addition, Miller has participated in several municipal finance studies designed to review management controls, financial reporting, and auditing needs. He recently participated in the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) research project on local government performance measurement.

"When the Port Commission decided to appoint a citizen member to our Audit Committee, we hoped we would find someone with exactly the expertise Steve offers," said Commission President John Creighton. "The Port's Audit Committee performs a crucial oversight function on behalf of the Commission, and we're fortunate to have someone of his caliber willing to volunteer his time to assist us."

Lloyd Hara, Port Commissioner and member of the Audit Committee, agrees. "Prior to joining the Port Commission, I worked in municipal finance for many years and Steve was a respected colleague. He has impeccable credentials and will bring needed skills to our committee. I look forward to working with him."

The Port of Seattle's Audit Committee will meet regularly to review areas identified through internal audit functions. Meeting notices and agendas will be posted to the Port's website. Mr. Miller's resume is also available on the site.

Port of Seattle transportation facilities support nearly 200,000 jobs in the Puget Sound region and generate more than $12 billion in business revenue and $626 million in state and local taxes annually.
