Council reviews formal complaint procedure for city administrator; sends draft forward for later action
Summary
Councilors reviewed a new draft process for complaints against the city administrator, discussed mandatory notification to council and quarterly evaluations, and agreed by consensus to return the revised draft for formal consideration at a future meeting.
Councilors reviewed a staff‑drafted Administrative Information Sheet describing options for filing complaints against the city administrator, including avenues to the administrator, mayor, or council president. One councilor argued the council "should always be advised that there is a complaint against the administrator" and recommended mandatory notification; council language was edited from optional to requiring that complaints be forwarded to council members.
Members also discussed performance evaluation cadence and agreed that in addition to an annual evaluation the council would implement quarterly check‑ins and, if appropriate, action plans for improvement. The mayor said the item would return to a later regular agenda for formal adoption and that no action was taken at the work session other than consensus on next steps.
