Council agrees to facilitated city manager performance evaluation process
Summary
Council confirmed a performance-evaluation process for the city manager, to be facilitated by an external consultant (Phil Kushlin); manager will complete a self-evaluation and direct reports will provide assessments before council discusses goals in executive session.
Council confirmed the process for the city manager's first performance evaluation following the manager's initial nine months on the job. Council directed staff to proceed with a facilitated evaluation process involving an outside consultant, Phil Kushlin, who will gather self-evaluation materials and feedback from direct reports and consolidate results for council review.
City clerk Tracy (last name not specified) described the planned steps: the city manager will complete a self-evaluation form; direct reports will submit supervisor evaluations that staff will compile and provide to the consultant and council; the consultant will assist the council in reviewing feedback and in goal-setting. The final evaluation and goal package will be delivered to the manager in executive session.
Council members indicated they were comfortable with the proposed approach and agreed the external facilitator would be helpful for the first evaluation cycle during the transition. Staff will circulate the evaluation materials and timeline to council and the manager and proceed with the facilitated process.
What the action means: The council endorsed a structured, consultant-facilitated evaluation that includes manager self-review and peer/supervisor feedback and will culminate in executive-session delivery of the evaluation and agreed goals.
