Council summarizes overwhelmingly positive evaluation of City Manager Mike Sable
Summary
After a closed session under Minnesota statute, the Maplewood City Council reported that City Manager Mike Sable received overwhelmingly positive marks across evaluation categories and set performance goals for 2026 covering budgeting, partnerships, communications and strategic planning.
The Maplewood City Council on March 24 moved into a closed session under Minnesota Statute 13D.05 Subd. 3(a) to conduct the annual performance evaluation of City Manager Mike Sable. The motion to close was made and seconded during the regular meeting.
After returning to open session, the council summarized the outcome: Sable received overwhelmingly positive feedback across evaluation categories and was rated very or extremely satisfactory in communication, collaboration and responsiveness. Council members said the city is on the right track under his leadership.
Council members also identified performance objectives for 2026, including improvements to the budget process, building public‑private partnerships, strengthening strategic planning and enhancing organizational culture. No personnel actions or contract changes were disclosed in open session; the council described the outcome as a favorable evaluation and thanked Sable for his service.
The council adjourned following that summary. The closed‑session motion cited Minnesota Statute 13D.05 Subd. 3(a), the statutory authority for personnel‑related closed meetings, and the public summary provided the council’s evaluation conclusions and agreed goals.
