Summary

Members noted the city manager's contract permits stretch goals and asked the commission to establish measurable targets; they agreed to reconvene on the evaluation after budget work is complete (Sept./Oct.).

Commissioners noted language in the city managers contract that lets the commission establish stretch goals and said they must specify those goals before formally grading the manager. One commissioner said stretch goals are necessary so the manager has measurable targets for evaluation.

The commission agreed to continue drafting the evaluation after budget season and to circulate a cross-table showing which categories are included across example forms. "If you've got stretch goals, whenever you send back to Brad include those in there," one commissioner said, asking that proposed stretch goals be sent along with the evaluation edits. Commissioners tentatively identified September/October, after the budget season, as the next opportunity to resume the work session.
