When Port of The Dalles commissioners sat down Aug. 8, to deliberate over their regular business, it was the 1,021st time a Port Commission had done so. That’s 12 regular monthly meetings over the course of 85 years, plus the first meeting of their 86th year, not counting special meetings and any meeting canceled due to fire, flood or other calamity.
At a Feb. 6 meeting of the Hood River Port Commission, Kevin Greenwood, project director for the replacement of the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge, invited Steve Siegel, of Siegel Consulting LLC, to guide the first Port Commission review of the draft administrative rules that would govern the public-private partnerships related to the replacement.
