Dan’s mix of auditing and accounting skills provide a unique foundation on which to build trust and transparency in the financial activities of the Long Beach Auditor’s Office.
Throughout his private sector career, Dan has remained active in our community. From refereeing soccer at LBYSO to being an active member of the St. Barnabas Parish.
Dan Miles is well known and respected not only for his professional expertise, but most importantly for integrity and personal character.
Integrity. Transparency. Accountability. These are the pillars on which Dan built his career, raised his family, and lives his life. It is also his approach to overseeing public resources and ensuring that taxpayer money is properly spent.
- Restore Public Trust. The allegations contained within the whistleblower report represent a violation of the public trust. As a result, the City Auditor’s Office has been compromised. Rebuilding public trust and demonstrating transparency are essential. This starts with leading by example and following general accounting standards and best practices.
- Open Checkbook For Long Beach. I will work to bring Open Checkbook to Long Beach, to provide public access to data related to government spending, budgets, contracts, and revenue. That means every expenditure made by the city will be publicly available on the City Auditor’s website. This will bring transparency to the City of Long Beach’s spending, enabling residents to understand where their tax dollars are being spent.
- Repayment of Illegal Water & Sewer Fees. The recent CA court rulings that Water and Sewer fees were unconstitutionally assessed to Long Beach rate payers is a glowing example of why residents have lost trust in their government. Long Beach City Council has approved a $9 million refund, where is the other $20 million? I will work to ensure that Long Beach residents are properly and fully refunded ALL of the money as court ordered.
