Harbor district unclear when CEO search will begin
Following the unexpected termination of the harbor district’s former chief executive officer, the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District Commission has appointed its director of administrative service as interim CEO.
Patricia Tyson started her new position Thursday after the commission unanimously appointed her in a special meeting Wednesday night.
Board President Mike Wilson said the board plans to start its search for a permanent CEO as soon as possible, and was pleased with the decision.
“The board appreciates Patti’s willingness to step into the position to assist the district and I, along with the rest of the board, look forward to working with her,” he said.
Tyson has worked for the Harbor District for the past 14 years as their director of administrative services “and has extensive knowledge of district operations, policies and ongoing projects,” according to a release sent out by the district. Tyson is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the district and will assist the commissioners with their search for the district’s next CEO.
Wilson said the board has not decided on the details of the search process, but will discuss it soon.
