Cathy Potter

Cathy Potter is the Director for the Port of Royal Slope. She and her husband, Gary, have raised three children and lived on the Royal Slope for over 30 years. "This is a wonderful, caring community." She began working for the Port in September of 2002 and enjoys the diversification of her job – from applying for grants and doing the bookkeeping to taking water samples and pulling weeds. Cathy enjoys meeting people and looks forward to working with anyone who is interested in starting a business.


The Port of Royal Slope has three Commissioners, one elected from each district area.

District 1: Columbia River on the west side heading east to approximately G Road
District 2: Town area from G Road heading east and south of Hwy 26 including the Smyrna area
District 3: North of Highway 26 from approximately F Road heading east to the Adams County line

We usually have one Commissioner up for re-election every other year.

Commissioners are elected for 6 year terms.
District 1: Frank Mianecki 2013
District 2: Alan Schrom 2011
District 3: Davey Miller 2009



Frank Mianecki became a Port Commissioner in 2001, representing District #1.

Frank brings with him his knowledge of agricultural industries, his perception of future plans, his hard working ability and genuineness to lend a helping hand. Frank is very ambitious about recruiting industries (such as food canneries) from other areas. "We have so much here to offer these companies, including an abundance of fruits and vegetables, a long growing season, and inexpensive power and water."

Alan Schrom has been a Port Commissioner since 1999 representing District #2. He works for the Bureau of Reclamation as an electrical engineer.

Alan has a wealth of knowledge about port business
because his mother, Patricia Schrom, was instrumental in getting the port started in 1958 and worked as the manager for many years.

Schrom says, "I am convinced that family farms working together with the Port can develop industry. They can achieve the same advantages as large farms while maintaining the flexibility of small ones, making them the most efficient producers in America."

Davey Miller became a Port Commissioner in 2004 and represents District #3.

Davey has lived and farmed in Royal City his entire life. He brings into the port his knowledge of not only agriculture, but also agri-business. He has been
actively involved in the family business of forage production, along with the marketing and delivery of the product. He has great aspirations of working with local producers to make the port a valuable asset to everyone in the community.
