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On January 24, 2023, the Commission approved and adopted Resolution No. 3810 that repealed related prior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.
COMMISSION AGENDA - Agenda Item No. 8b
Meeting Date: January 14, 2025
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.
