             COMMISSION AGENDA – Agenda Item No. 8c                                 Page 2 of 2 
Meeting Date: February 13, 2024 
TRANSPARENCY: 
In approving the delegations for the Executive Director, the Commission requested that staff ensure
transparency is built into the process. As a result, staff will make approvals visible to the public in two
ways. First, these types of approvals will be made visible in public Commission meetings via monthly
reporting like this one. Approvals are both timed and designed to be visible in a similar manner to the
monthly Claims and Obligations reporting. Second, staff will publish these delegations in a PeopleSoft
formatted report on the Port website in the same manner that all procurements, contracts, and other
opportunities are made available to public communities.
BACKGROUND:
On January 24, 2023, the Commission approved and adopted Resolution No. 3810 that repealed related
prior resolutions and increased the previously delegated Commission authority to the Executive Director
and provided clarity in process directives to port staff. The approval made the Delegation of Responsibility
and Authority to the Executive Director (DORA) effective on April 3, 2023.
The foundation for Resolution No. 3810 included significant data analysis, employee surveys, and internal
audit recommendation. Resolution No. 3810 also aligns with the Port Century Agenda in that it helps
make the Port a more effective public agency. Considerations and checks and balances have been built
into the associated processes of Executive Director approvals including a high bar of transparency. 
Following significant analysis and multiple Commission reviews, the Commission approved the DORA on
January 24, 2023. That reporting memo is available for review on the Port website under the January 24,
2023, Commission public meeting, and it provides detailed reasoning and explanation of Resolution No.
3810.
