Port of Port Angeles commissioners to hold special meeting today

PORT ANGELES — Port of Port Angeles commissioners, who are searching for a new executive director for the port, will discuss the roles of director and commissioners when they meet today for a special meeting.

The meeting is at 4 p.m. at the port administrative building, 338 W. First St. in Port Angeles.

As part of their discussion, port commissioners will review commission and staff roles at the ports of Seattle and Bellingham.

Commissioners Colleen McAleer, Connie Beauvais and Steve Burke expect to begin interviewing applicants later this month for the executive director position vacated by Ken O’Hollaren.

Commissioners also will discuss creating a port document resource page on an internal intranet site for port commissioners that would be accessible to them, and not the public, from their home computers from the port’s publicly accessible internet website, www.portofpa.com.

The resource page would include resolutions and other documents and be accessible to port commissioners by assigned log-ins, according to the port’s agenda packet for today at www.portofpa.com.

The page could include a resolution index, scanned resolutions and document templates.

Commissioners also will discuss a proposed resolution on the fiduciary responsibilities of the state Board of Natural Resources, which sets policies for the state Department of Natural Resources.

The board approves timber sales, sustainable harvest calculations and long-term conservation strategies.
