Statute Text
Vacancies.
Notwithstanding ORS 198.320, the Governor may fill vacancies on the board of
any port by appointment when the vacancies exist as a result of the failure to
nominate and elect board members as provided in ORS 777.080, 777.135 and
777.160. The appointees shall be electors registered in the port. If the port
is divided into subdistricts under ORS 777.155 or 777.326, the appointees shall
be electors registered in the subdistrict represented by the vacant position.
The terms of the appointees shall be determined by lot at a meeting of the
board held within five days after the appointment. However, the term of an
appointee shall expire on June 30 next following the succeeding regular
district election at which a successor is elected. The terms of the appointees
shall be arranged with the terms of the other members so that the terms of not
more than three commissioners expire on June 30 next following any regular
district election. [Amended by 1969 c.669 §18; 1971 c.728 §39; 1981 c.173 §53;
1983 c.83 §112; 1983 c.350 §322]
