City seeks applicants for positions on City Center Redevelopment Authority
Press Release Date:
Tuesday, October 11, 2022

The City of Vancouver is seeking applicants with real estate, construction
or economic development backgrounds who are interested in supporting the
growth and success of downtown Vancouver, to fill three seats on its City
Center Redevelopment Authority (CCRA) board. Completed applications must be
received by 5 p.m. on November 10.

The CCRA board is responsible for overseeing downtown redevelopment
consistent with the Vancouver City Center Vision plan. The board advises
the Mayor and City Council on public-private partnerships, public
assistance to private developments, and the business aspects of
redevelopment projects and agreements in downtown Vancouver.

Consistent with the CCRA’s charter, board members should have broad
business backgrounds with experience relevant to the CRRA’s purpose in
fields such as real estate development, law, construction management or
economic development. In addition, the CCRA is committed to ensuring that
its board represents diverse community voices with varied lived and
professional experiences. Applicants are not required to live within the
city limits.

Two of these seats are currently held by individuals whose terms are
expiring and who may reapply. Per Vancouver City Council policy, all
incumbents who wish to reapply for their positions will be reinterviewed
along with any qualifying applicants. The third seat is for a mid‐term
appointment that expires in 2023 and would have the option to seek another
full, four‐year term.

Qualified applicants will be interviewed by City Councilmembers on a date
to be determined. Applicants who are not appointed through this process may
be considered for future CCRA board vacancies for up to one year from the
date of their application submission.

Regular CCRA meetings are on the third Thursday of each month beginning at
12:30 p.m. at City Hall (415 W. Sixth St.). Special meetings of the Board
are advertised and held as needed - historically four to six times per
year. Board members prepare for meetings by reviewing development plans,
financial projections, legal documents and other technical information
related to the projects presented at workshops and public meetings.

Applications may be submitted online at www.cityofvancouver.us/boards. For
a printed application or for further information, contact the boards and
commissions coordinator in the City Manager’s Office at P.O. Box 1995,
Vancouver, WA 98668-1995, bc_coordinator at cityofvancouver.us, or by calling
360-487-8600.

board meeting agendas and minutes, please visit www.cityofvancouver.us/ccra.
