Calhoun County approves 1.5% contingent pay for Administrator Purcell after performance review

The Calhoun County Board accepted the Administrator/Controller Greg Purcell’s 2004 Performance Evaluation Report and approved contingent compensation equal to 1.5% of his 2004 base salary, following a Workshop report presented by Comr. Moore.

Comr. Moore said 22 evaluations were distributed and 16 returned, producing an overall rating of 2.02 out of 3.00, a decline for the second consecutive year but still within expectations. The Workshop recommended continued focus on four priorities for the remainder of 2005: enhance communication and relationships with elected officials; clarify management structure; increase visibility throughout the organization; and emphasize strategic visioning and planning.

Comr. Moore said the Workshop recommended the 1.5% contingent compensation and the Board approved the recommendation by roll call (Res. 55-2005). County Administrator/Controller Greg Purcell thanked the Workshop for its review and said he takes the charge seriously, calling his management approach "team oriented" and pledging to work on the identified priorities.

The motion carried unanimously. The Board did not alter the performance rating in the minutes; the Workshop noted the rating remains consistent with Board expectations despite the small decline.
