Public Notice
The Willacy County Navigation District (WCND) Board of Commissioners announces that Ronald Mills will no longer serve as Executive Port Director, effective immediately. During an executive session of the Regular Commissioners Meeting on October 22, 2025, the Board conducted Mr. Mills’s annual performance review and provided him the opportunity to resign in lieu of termination, with severance terms reflecting a reduction from his full salary. Mr. Mills elected to resign, and the Board accepted his resignation in open session.
The Board thanks Mr. Mills for his 11 years of service and wishes him well in his future endeavors. A special meeting will be held next week to discuss the process for selecting a successor and discussing other matters to ensure continuity of operations.
