The EZLTH BoD Minutes for the first half of 1962 include a variety of subject matters. During meetings, the members handle unwaveringly cases of recruitments, salary increases, retirements, promotions, resignations, contract renewals and filling vacant posts. Furthermore, major issues are various purchases, such as tools, materials, machinery, equipment in general, as well as relevant procedures, e.g., public tenders. However, a number of other issues present equal interest. The Minutes depict the solid focus on construction and restoration issues, the most characteristic being:
- Participation in public tender and supervision of SILOS establishment-installation routing
- Ongoing discussions concerning the construction of metal shelters, an issue related to a series of developments in the area of the Organization’s storage policy
- In the Minutes pages we find the General Director’s proposals regarding scheduling and developments of construction works, fixing-installing machinery-tools, reconstruction of the railway network, the coastal boulevard improvements and relevant financing (discussion regarding loan availability).
- Furthermore, along the same lines, there is a reference to the port reconstruction through the demolition of the army warehouses and the creation of quay wall, the works’ completion at the Fish Auction House, as well as the developments of the quay construction and modernization of the water supply and electricity networks.
Apart from modernizing the infrastructure, we find references to the possibility of reconstructing the operation along the OLP (Piraeus Port Authority) lines, whilst the fact that the city port through the Tariff offered can attract the interest of USA export companies is mentioned. Generally, the Minutes outline the interest expressed by companies from abroad for cooperation, since there were allusions to the possibilities of establishing companies from abroad in the port area, and not only companies from the European Common Market. Besides that, similar requests are expressed from local companies, and are discussed extensively at some point, since the overall increase of the port traffic was not made obvious only through the port’s infrastructure development, but also through the ongoing discussions regarding upgrading the storage Tariff.
Finally, of great interest are the financial issues that occupied the interest of the Organization. On one hand, we have the listing of basic issues:
• Financial Report and Balance Sheet for 1961
• Budget of 1962 and reformations
On the other hand, we find references to overtime and plot divestment issues, the new storage invoice and related discussions, charity actions and issues related to the overall upgrading of the port infrastructure.
