Resolution 3181 - Delegation of Authority

The Seattle Port Commission is reviewing the delegation of authority to the Port CEO, as encompassed in Resolution 3181, with the intent of strengthening Commission oversight of Port operations. Proposed changes will be in two important areas:

  • The project authorization process to strengthen internal controls and increase public visibility and Commission oversight of major construction projects, and
  • The formal written Delegation of Authority to the CEO by the Port Commission, which lays out overall CEO authority and reporting requirements.

The Port is seeking public comment during the 30-day period from May 13th to June 11th. The public comment period has been extended to June 30th.
