Port commissioner resigns post

Grant County Port District 7 Commissioner Larry Maier resigned his position Thursday night.

Maier told fellow commissioners Orville Scharbach and Stan Conklin that he plans to spend time with family and do a little ocean fishing.

Maier had been on the port district for nine years and only missed one meeting, that being while he was traveling in China.

Maier was responsible, during his tenure, for locating a portable unit at the airport as a lounge for pilots and for use by commissioners as an office. The port district’s monthly meetings are held there.

Anyone interested in serving on the port district board of commissioners is asked to submit a letter of interest for consideration and reasons why they want to serve on the board to Port District 7, Box 616, Grand Coulee, Wa. 99133.
