Subject: Fwd: Harbor Commission
To: Mayor and City Council, Redondo Beach
City Clerk, Redondo Beach
City Manager, Redondo Beach
From: JoAnn Turk, President , King Harbor Association
Re: Harbor and Pier Lessees Representative on the Harbor Commission I understand that at the last City Council meeting there was some confusion about the appointment of our harbor and pier representative
on the Harbor Commission.
Please refer to the wording below from the Municipal Code under Qualifications for Appointment that spells out the responsibilities of
the harbor and pier lessees to submit a list of five names to the Mayor for his or her selection among the five names to choose from
to appoint to the Harbor Commission.
As the President of the King Harbor Association, I have been asked to gather those names for submission to the Mayor these past
several years. Usually the City Clerk calls or emails me to remind me of the task. I collect the names of interested people, ask them to submit their qualifications to me and to fill out an application to the Commissions at the City Clerk's office. I forward the list and comments of interested people to the members of the King Harbor Association and the Pier Association, and from their consensus our Executive Board puts a list of five
people together who we think would best represent us and further our interests within the jurisdiction of the commission, and we give those to the Mayor.
Before me, Gordon McRae, Jr. was the person who collected the information and votes and submitted the names for consideration by the Mayor.
It has worked this way for as long as I have been in the Harbor.
