The Bainbridge Island City Council unanimously appointed three new members to the city’s Harbor Commission at the council’s meeting this week.

The new members are Samantha Everett, John Brownlow and Frank Ostrander.

Everett, an attorney who specializes in employment and business litigation, will serve in Position 1 for a three-year term that runs until June 30, 2017.

Everett is a graduate of San Diego State University and the University of San Diego School of Law and was a 2012 finalist in the San Diego Business Journal’s “Women Who Mean Business” awards.

Brownlow was nominated for Position 2 on the Harbor Commission, which also has a three-year term that expires June 30, 2017.

He is a self-employed managing consultant for E3C and was formerly an enterprise architect with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Services. An Australian, he moved to Seattle in 1992.

Ostrander was nominated for Position 6, which has a term that ends June 30, 2016.

He is a retired foreign service officer for the U.S. Department of State, and is also a former Assistant Attorney General for the state of Oregon and a retired Navy captain.

The city council also unanimously voted to shift Harbor Commissioner Sandra Davis from Position 6 to Position 4 on the advisory body.

Davis asked for the transfer in October. If approved, her term would end on June 30, 2015 instead of June 30, 2016.

Five applications were received for the open positions. Davis and Mayor Anne Blair served as an interview panel and forwarded the nominations to the council for approval.

The seven-member Harbor Commission meets once a month and develops and recommends new policies on harbor management for the city and helps implement policies in the city’s Harbor Management Plan.
