National City leaders have parted ways with their Port of San Diego representative, Commissioner Sandy Naranjo, whose relationship with her peers at the agency is said to have been fractured beyond repair.
Late Tuesday, National City Council Members voted 3-2 to remove Naranjo from the Board of Port Commissioners while being heckled from audience members who objected to the decision. The action, effective immediately, comes seven months after Naranjo was censured by the port's board for misconduct and means the city will need to fill the now-vacant board seat. The seven-member board oversees and makes policy decisions for the San Diego Unified Port District.
However, support from some of the council members waned in the ensuing months as the censure appeared to impede Naranjo's ability to successfully advance the city's priorities. 'We have many needs. We deserve clean air. Our residents deserve it. We don't receive revenues from port businesses in National City jurisdiction on a regular basis. That's critical. We don't have access to the bayfront.
