PORT ANGELES — Port of Port Angeles commissioners will discuss the process for appointing a fellow commissioner in a special meeting Friday.
The meeting will be at 4 p.m. in the commissioners’ meeting room at 338 W. First St. The meeting is open to the public.
Commissioner Jim Hallett’s last day was Friday. He provided the port with a letter of resignation that stated he would resign effective Monday.
He had announced Jan. 25 that he planned to resign, citing the ethics of fellow commissioners.
Hallett said fellow Commissioners Connie Beauvais and Colleen McAleer had met privately before Beauvais, who was elected in November, was sworn in.
He said they discussed changing the day and time they gather for regular meetings, currently set for Tuesday mornings, and electing McAleer as commission president in place of Hallett, who previously had held the position.
McAleer was elected president Jan. 12.
Beauvais said any discussions she had with McAleer previous to her swearing-in Jan. 12 would not constitute a quorum and not be illegal.
Hallett, 60, is a Port Angeles resident who represents District 2, the central part of the county.
He will be recognized for his years of public service during the commission’s meeting Tuesday. The 9 a.m. meeting will be at port offices at 338 W. First St.
