The Lapeer Downtown Development Authority executive committee reported this week that it circulated a revised performance-evaluation form for the executive director and set a November 14 deadline for board members to submit feedback.

The committee said it reorganized the evaluation to be simpler and more actionable; the executive director will receive the compiled feedback and the executive committee plans follow-up meetings, possibly concluding in early 2026 because the board typically does not meet in December.

Separately, the committee told the board that the DDA operates under its own tax identification number and therefore is not covered by the city’s directors-and-officers liability insurance. Committee members said the DDA will examine options, including asking the city whether coverage can be extended or obtaining its own policy; staff will seek quotes and return the matter to the executive committee for recommendation to the full board.

The committee did not adopt a policy at the meeting. It asked board members to complete the evaluation by Nov. 14 and said insurance options would be discussed at the executive committee before the next board meeting.
