Discussion on
Regional Port Authority |
Commissioner Barnaby
and Fulton County Organizational Development Director, Andy
Votava, attended a Regional Port Authority Meeting held in
Defiance, Ohio on Tuesday, March 25, 2008. Mr. Votava was
present to brief the Board on the details of that meeting and
presented the Board with a packet of information received on
this matter. Discussion was held on the benefits of Fulton
County becoming part of a Port Authority and the possibility of
joining a 4 County Port Authority with Defiance, Henry and
Paulding County as presented in the meeting on Tuesday. He
advised that Defiance County is asking each county to advise of
their intentions by the end of April and if interested to
present them with their appointments for the Board of
Directors. If 4 counties join, there will be 12 members on the
Board of Directors with each county being responsible for
appointing 3 of those members. Criteria for the members that
are to be appointed were discussed. It was recognized that a
port authority is considered to be its own political authority
and that all meetings will be subject to Sunshine Laws. Rules
and Regulations and the structure of the authority were
addressed. Discussion was held on the primary goals and
benefits of a port authority. A port being a financial asset
to the region and gaining influence in State Government are
considerations. |
