Port of C-W accepting commissioner applications

The Port of Camas-Washougal says it’s accepting applications to fill the vacant District 1 position on the port’s elected three-member commission. Those interested must apply no later than 5 p.m. Aug. 31.

The death of Commissioner Mark Lampton has prompted the need for Commissioners Bill Ward and Bill Macrae-Smith to appoint a successor who will serve through 2017.

To be eligible to apply for the District 1 position, an applicant must have continuously lived within the district’s boundaries for at least one year before an appointment is made and must be a registered voter in Clark County.

Applicants must submit the following items to be considered for the position:

• an application (available at the port office, 24 S. A St. in Washougal or on the port’s website)

• a cover letter (one page) indicating interest and general qualifications

• a resume of no more than two pages

• completed answers, of no more than three pages, to the supplemental questions

Lampton, 69, died of cancer Aug. 3. The port will celebrate and honor his life during a gathering at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 21 at one of his favorite parks, Chinook Plaza in Parker’s Landing Historical Park, 24 S. A St. in Washougal.
