Commissioners reallocate Gallup contract funds toward supervisor leadership training
Summary
The board approved Modification No. 2 to a Gallup Inc. personal services agreement to shift remaining contract funds from a survey year to leadership development for managers.
Tillamook County commissioners approved Modification No. 2 to personal services agreement No. 6368 with Gallup Inc., reallocating remaining contract funds toward leadership development for supervisors instead of conducting another full employee engagement survey this year.
Human Resources Technician Mackenzie Weir explained the county signed a multi‑year agreement with Gallup in February 2023 and has conducted two employee engagement surveys since then. Response rates and the county’s ability to work with the prior results have been limited, and staff recommended using the remaining contract year to provide a half‑day, instructor‑led training for managers on practical tools to drive engagement, lead meetings and hold performance conversations.
Commissioners supported the approach, saying leadership training is a better use of the remaining contract term than repeating a survey when staff have not been able to act on prior results. The board approved the contract modification by voice vote.
The transcript records that the county attempted to leave the third contracted year but negotiated an alternative service with Gallup. The record does not show the dollar value of the reallocated funds or the exact new scope beyond the described half‑day training.
