December 28 2020 New new date has been set for the meeting, which was canceled after elected officials and community groups called for a more public process. The TriMet Board of Directors has canceled a special meeting it scheduled for Wednesday to discuss how to replace General Manager Doug Kelsey, who had announced he is retiring when his contract ends in March 2021. TriMet has said it will conduct an international search for the next general manager. The Dec. 30 meeting was canceled after the board received letters from elected officials and advocacy groups in the region asking for more community involvement in the selection process.
