Council completes annual evaluation of city manager; contract review scheduled for December
Summary
Council completed an annual review of the city manager, praised fiscal oversight and interagency work, and asked staff to move the manager—s contract to a more traditional city-manager format for consideration at the December meeting.
The Scottsbluff City Council conducted its annual evaluation of the city manager during the Nov. 20 meeting. The chair said the council plans to review the manager—s contract at the next meeting in December and noted several changes were advisable to move toward a traditional city-manager contract format.
Multiple council members praised the manager—s fiscal oversight and collaboration with partner agencies. One councilmember suggested better engagement and direction for boards and commissions and recommended a citizen budget advisory committee to broaden input on budget priorities. A councilmember also encouraged the manager to continue professional development and to take occasional leaves to recharge.
The manager (Kevin, last name not stated in the transcript) thanked the council and asked that wage conversations be deferred until the upcoming contract review. No formal personnel action was taken at the meeting; council discussion was recorded as part of the evaluation process and the contract review is scheduled for the next meeting.
What happens next: Council will review and possibly amend the city manager—s contract at the December meeting and may take related wage or structural actions at that time.
