Committee transfers Mike Ward to a noncommercial seat to open commercial seat
Summary
The Ports & Harbors advisory committee approved a motion shifting Mike Ward from commercial seat CB to noncommercial seat CE, leaving the CB seat open for a candidate from the commercial fishing industry; applications will be collected for future appointments.
The advisory committee voted to transfer member Mike Ward from a commercial-designated seat to a noncommercial seat, creating an open commercial seat intended for representation from the fishing industry.
The chair explained the mayor had suggested the seat change to make a commercial‑industry slot available; committee members discussed residency requirements and the appointment process. The motion to move Ward from seat CB to seat CE was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Committee members agreed to collect filled applications at the end of the meeting and to follow the code that allows incumbents to remain in place when no applicants are available to ensure quorum. Staff said they will coordinate with the clerk’s office and the mayor’s office to process any reappointments or new appointments.
