PORT ANGELES — The Harbor-Works Public Development Authority Board of Directors expects to select an executive director in December, and will begin advertising for the position by the end of the month.
The authority, created by the city and Port of Port Angeles in May, wants to acquire the Rayonier pulp mill site, oversee and hopefully speed up its cleanup and eventually market the property.
On Wednesday, the five-member board voted 4-0, with Karen McCormick absent and Jerry Hendricks participating via telephone, to begin the search for the permanent director position.
Interviews for the position are set for about Oct. 20, and the position is expected to be filled around Dec. 1.
Harbor-Works has budgeted $12,000 a month for a permanent director, but Orville Campbell, chairman of the Harbor-Works board, has said that the exact salary hasn’t been decided upon yet.
The advertising for the executive director position is expected to cost $2,000, and will be done through Pacific Northwest publications and on the Internet, said Bill James, port finance director.
