Port to hold info session for open seat

WHITMAN COUNTY — The Port of Whitman County seeks a new member to appoint to its commission. Qualified candidates must be registered voters living in District One.

The new commissioner will replace John Love, who served on the board for 24 years.

Port staff will hold a virtual informational session, “Port Commissioner 101,” at 7 p.m. Aug. 13, to share background about the Port and the roles and responsibilities of a Port commissioner. The meeting will be held on Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83561948135.

Applications will be available after session.

The two remaining commissioners, Kristine Meyer and Tom Kammerzell, will interview qualified applicants and select a replacement for the vacant position.

The chosen candidate will need to run in the next open election in November 2021 in order to retain the seat.

The winner then will serve out the remainder of Love’s term, ending in 2025.
