SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Background:
The Ports & Harbors Commission has completed a goal-setting process for the remainder of 2025 and all of 2026. At its August 14, 2025 regular meeting, the Commission formally adopted six strategic goals with supporting work plans and performance indicators, as well as a goal-focused meeting calendar to guide Commission activities through December 2026. These goals align with the City’s operational, strategic, and seasonal priorities for the Port, Harbor, and Airport facilities under the Commission’s purview.
The purpose of this Joint Work Session is to review the adopted Commission goals and calendar, receive feedback from the City Council, and ensure alignment with Council priorities, the Valdez Comprehensive Plan, Economic Development Plan, and Waterfront Master Plan.
