BACKGROUND
Chair Vicki Callahan began her second and final term as a Harbor Commissioner on October 1, 2021. Her term is set to end on September 30, 2025. Chair Callahan was a part of several ongoing Harbor Commission subcommittees that would meet periodically with staff to provide insight and comments on specific projects or goals. The following subcommittees now have an open position and the Harbor Commission is tasked with filling the vacancy with another Harbor Commissioner by appointment via majority vote. The remaining members for each subcommittee are included in parenthesis.
• Boat Launch - Tasked with providing insight and comments to City staff on the new public boat launch on Mole D. (Carlson, Chrzan, Alternate - Bauer)
• Sea Bass Subcommittee - Tasked with identifying potential locations within the harbor to locate a sea bass grow pen facility. (The location has been selected near the new Harbor Patrol docks and construction of the facility is underway. The only remaining subcommittee member is Commissioner Carlson. Staff recommends not filling the vacancy.)
• Waterfront Education - Tasked with ensuring a local non-profit education organization is welcomed as a partner. (Abelman, Bauer)
