Port of San Diego
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Port of San Diego is a self-supporting public benefit corporation established in 1963 by an act of the California State Legislature. The Port Act says that the policy of the State of California is to develop the harbors and ports of the State for multiple uses that benefit all the people of the State. The Act goes on to say that only a specially created district can effectively develop the harbors and port facilities by balancing all the competing interests for these valuable tidelands.
The Port was created to protect that balance as illustrated in the agency's mission statement.
Mission Statement
While protecting the Tidelands Trust resources, the Port will balance economic benefits, community services, environmental stewardship, and public safety on behalf of the citizens of California.
The Port is governed by a seven member Board of Port Commissioners; one commissioner each is appointed by the city councils of Chula Vista, Coronado, Imperial Beach and National City, and three commissioners are appointed by the San Diego City Council. The Board establishes policies under which the Port's staff – supervised by the Executive Director – conducts its daily operation.
Vision Statement
To Foster a World Class Port through Excellence in Public Service.
