Finance Department Director's Message

With the direction provided by the City Council, the dedication provided by our employees, and the support of our citizens, the City of Port Angeles will continue to provide the highest level of municipal services possible and protect the quality of life so cherished by our community.

Providing the highest level of services and balance amidst an environment of diminishing resources is clearly a challenge. However, we do see positive signs as new construction and building increases and people talk about the City's future in a positive light.

All members of the Finance Department uphold the highest industry standards in all functions from budgeting, accounting, debt and cash management, financial planning, customer services, systems management, pc and software support, reprographics, utility billing and web site design and maintenance.

Please feel free to contact us at any time with your questions and comments. It is an extreme honor and pleasure to oversee and direct this department.

Sincerely,
- Yvonne Ziomkowski, Director
Finance Department
