Council approves annual city manager evaluation process and timeline
Summary
Council approved an annual evaluation process for the city manager based on ICMA/NLC templates, agreed to solicit targeted partner feedback, and added a new question on staff empowerment to the evaluation instrument.
City Manager Jesse Baker presented a memo and evaluation tools proposing an annual review process aligned with National League of Cities and ICMA templates and consistent with his employment contract. Councilors discussed soliciting targeted community and committee-chair feedback rather than a broad public survey and asked staff to identify appropriate partners for outreach.
Councilor 3 proposed adding a question to the leadership-team survey to track whether the manager empowers department heads to make decisions within their authority; the council agreed to that amendment. The timeline was accepted: responses due to HR by Jan. 26, executive session on Feb. 2, and a summary report to be published by Feb. 18.
