Historic Port Authority

The Hernando County Port Authority consists of the five Board of County Commissioners of Hernando County. The Port Authority meets once a year.

Background: 

At the February 23, 2021 regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, Ordinance 2021-01 was adopted to create the Hernando County Waterways Advisory Committee. This also transferred the Hernando County Port Authority's current membership to the Advisory Committee and delineated the Advisory Committee's powers and duties. The committee now serves in an advisory capacity to the Board. In that same action, the Board of County Commissioners also approved filing a local bill in  the next legislative session to appoint the Board as the Port Authority's governing body.

Action:

Support a local bill to be filed designating the Hernando County Board of County Commissioners the governing body of the Hernando County Port Authority.
