Committee tables Employee Evaluation Policy as City considers measurable merit system
Summary
Interim CAO Chamberlin presented a standalone Employee Evaluation Policy; the Committee discussed merit-based compensation concerns and agreed to use the current year as a COLA-only baseline while designing measurable performance steps.
Interim CAO Chamberlin presented a proposed Employee Evaluation Policy intended to function as a standalone supervisory procedure that complements the Employee Handbook. She told the Committee supervisors had recently completed evaluation training and the policy aims to strengthen chain-of-command accountability.
Committee members discussed future merit-based compensation structures and expressed concern about traditional merit systems. Chamberlin said the current fiscal year would serve as a baseline year with COLA-only adjustments while the City develops a more measurable step-and-scale evaluation system tied to employee goals and performance benchmarks.
After discussion, the Committee voted to table the Employee Evaluation Policy for further review and asked administration to return with clearer standards and measurable expectations before implementing merit pay changes.
