Port authority evaluating executive director resumes
YOUNGSTOWN — Members of the Western Reserve Port Authority board met in executive session today to discuss the merits of the eight candidates for the authority’s executive director position.
The board plans to have a special, closed-door meeting June 8 to interview the candidates — either in person or by video conferencing — and narrow the choices.
There are eight candidates because one person claimed to have emailed his resume by the deadline, but it was not received by the deadline, said Atty. Dan Keating, who received the resumes. Keating indicated he would email the eighth resume to The Vindicator, but it did not arrive by late today.
Dave Mosure, chairman of the planning committee, which is heading up the selection process, said he was disappointed that only seven applications were received by the deadline.
But he theorized the reason is because the port authority was presenting a poor image of itself last year while several board members were publicly arguing among themselves, leading to a large number of board members resigning and being replaced.
