Port of Redwood City Director of Finance & Development
Cynthia Hampton says she will retire effective May 12, 2014, after more than 15
years at the South San Francisco Bay port.
Prior to joining the Port of Redwood City, Hampton was
controller at the Port of Sacramento for 11 years.
The port has already begun recruiting for a qualified
individual to fill the position, Executive Director Michael J. Giari said.
During her tenure at the port, Hampton was instrumental in
issuing two successful revenue bonds, which enabled the port to remediate a
former petroleum tank farm site and construct a new, modern wharf facility, the
first new wharf built at the port in 30 years, Port Commission Chair Lorianna
Kastrop said.
“She also modernized the port’s accounting systems and led
the port into full compliance with current government accounting standards and
procedures,” Kastrop said. “he detailed financial budgeting system established
by Hampton assisted the port in meeting its financial goals and achieving 15
years of profitable operations based on port revenues.”
