Port Commission

The five Commission Board members of the Port of Hood River are called Commissioners and are elected to five designated numbered positions by the voters of the Port of Hood River District. To be elected to the Board, an individual must be qualified under Oregon Revised Statutes (must be at least 18 years of age and a registered voter) and must be a resident of the port district. Each Commissioner serves a four-year term of office which begins July 1 of the year elected. Swearing in of newly elected Commissioners takes place at the first regular meeting in July. Regular Port meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month. Work sessions are held when needed.

In the event an elected Commissioner cannot complete the term of office, a new member will be appointed to the position by the remaining members of the Board to serve until the next regularly scheduled Port election.

Secretary: The Secretary shall attest to all signatures on legal documents signed by the President.
