Memorandum
To: Mayor and City Council
CC: City Manager, City Clerk
From: Vicki Taylor, Council Member

Re: City Manager and Accountability
It is my intention to bring the following subject matter
up at the next council meeting:
To request a City Council meeting agenda item or workshop
to review how the City Manager is annually evaluated, counseled when necessary,
and any progressive disciplinary procedures.
This agenda item or workshop should include a presentation
from Jane O'Conner on how current employees are evaluated on a 90-day and annual
basis, the process and forms utilized for employee counseling and progressive
disciplinary procedures, the current job description and evaluation procedures
in place for the City Manager, current procedure for annual merit increases for
employees including the city manager, and any additional presentation of
pertinent human resources policies and procedures.
In addition, the presentation should include how similar
city managers are evaluated, merited, and counseled as appropriate.
Subsequently, the Mayor and City Council should have the background material to
move forward on appropriate policies and procedures to initially and annually
evaluate a city manager and actively coach, counsel, and set progressive
disciplinary procedures based on performance if necessary.
