Perry Council approves one quarter of executive coaching for city administrator Sven Peterson
Summary
The Perry City Council approved funding for the first quarter of an executive coaching engagement for city administrator Sven Peterson at $4,000, with council members specifying that further funding would return to the council for approval.
The Perry City Council approved funding for one quarter of an executive coaching program for city administrator Sven Peterson with coach John Leonetti, authorizing $4,000 now and directing staff to return to the council before additional quarters are funded.
Council discussion clarified intent after the agenda item was introduced: a letter accompanying the request referenced an annualized cost of $16,000, but council members agreed to approve only a single quarter to start so the program can be evaluated before committing additional funds. Staff said they will update the resolution language to reflect the one-quarter approval.
Council members noted the session structure (a quarter equals 10 sessions as discussed during the meeting) and asked that any further engagement be brought back to the council for review. The motion passed on a voice/roll call with unanimous affirmative votes.
Next steps: administration will update the resolution to fund the first quarter ($4,000) and will report back to council if further sessions are requested.
