§2212 Position of Revitalization Coordinator

Summary

Creates a Revitalization Coordinator job under the Oversight Board. The Oversight Board must give the Governor at least three nominees within 60 days after the board’s full membership is in place. The Governor then has 10 days to pick one of those nominees. If the Governor does not choose, the Oversight Board will pick a nominee by majority vote. Nominees must have strong experience with infrastructure projects (planning, financing, development, operations, engineering, or market work), with extra weight for Energy Project experience and knowledge of Puerto Rico’s expedited permitting rules. A nominee must not now provide goods or services to Puerto Rico’s government, nor have been a Puerto Rico officer or employee in the past 3 calendar years, and must not be closely related to someone who provided such services in the past 3 calendar years. Pay is set by the Oversight Board but cannot be higher than the Executive Director’s salary. The Executive Director can assign staff to help the Coordinator. The Oversight Board can remove the Coordinator at any time, and the job ends when the Oversight Board ends under section 2149.
