The State Auditor's Office (SAO) has published its most recent independent audit of the City's finances, marking 24 years in a row of clean audits - a very uncommon and notable accomplishment.  The full audit (from fiscal year 2017) is now available on the  City's website.

"I'm so impressed with this singular achievement by our City's financial team," said Julie Underwood, City Manager.   No other indicator provides a better measure of an organization's financial management practices and stewardship of public resources, according to Finance Director Chip Corder.

All local governments in Washington are audited regularly by the  SAO , in accordance with state law. It is a detailed process that takes several months to complete and rigorously assesses how the City manages, uses, and safeguards public resources, and determines whether the City's financial statements are accurate and complete.

Over  50,000 Puget Sound Energy (PSE) customers have chosen to support renewable energy in the Pacific Northwest, and Mercer Island residents can help increase that number. 

It's easy and there's nothing to install or maintain. To participate in one of PSE's green energy programs, customers simply pay a little more each month and their power use is matched with renewable energy added to the grid on their behalf. The green power is produced right here in the Pacific Northwest.  It's  independent, low carbon and starts at just $4 more per month: a powerful choice, for just pennies a day.

 

Over the next few weeks, PSE representatives will visit all Mercer Island neighborhoods to answer questions and help interested people enroll their home. Residents may also see them at a variety of tabling and event locations through the summer.
