Two more business groups have expressed their concern to the Port of Port Angeles commissioners about the selection of Claude Bullock as their executive director.
Port commissioners voted unanimously Aug. 27 to offer Bullock a $90,000 annual contract for the executive director position, beginning Oct. 1. Bullock is expected to attend the Port of Port Angeles commissioners’ meeting Sept. 10 to begin working on the 2002 budget.
The Science Technology and Manufacturing Association sent the commissioners a letter “to share our unanimous concerns’ regarding Bullock and what the letter describes as “the obviously failed hiring process.”
A Port Angeles Chamber of Commerce letter asks the port commissioners to “reconsider the offer to Mr. Bullock,” although it is “not trying to suggest this process was not effective.”
Earlier in the week, the Port Angeles Business Association letter asked the commissioners to postpone a final decision until they resolve “pending public allegations of malfeasance.”
