NOVEMBERF 3, 2025 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
ITEM #4: PUBLIC EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS, CITY MANAGER Last year's chair of the Council Appointed Officers Committee told the Council on December 2, 2024 that:
"There had been a closed session related to possibly setting KPIs on the objectives that were in place. There had
been productive conversations with the City Manager, City Clerk, and City Attorney. It was unanimously concluded that the CAOs should identify a few of the key goals and set measurements (KPIs or metrics) for the goals, which Council would receive shortly from the outside consultant.
The Council has adopted 70 objectives this year for its four key policies.
It makes more sense to evaluate the Council Appointed Officers (CAOs) on a focused set of Goals and KPIs.
The Council sets policy via legislative acts and directions to CAOs that the CAOs implement, but at a point in time the public and Council
may be focusing on only a few such policies such
as consultants and oversized vehicles.
Since you will be evaluating the City Manager based on Goals and KPIS, the only way the public can provide information to you about the Goals and KPIs is if you disclose them now.
The Goals and KPIs are identifiable public records and you should not refuse to disclose them unless you are compelled to do so.
If the Goals and KPIs are not available to the public before you go into Closed Session to evaluate the City Manager, all the public can possibly talk about are whatever of the 70 objectives and policies of the moment are important to them that might not be relevant to the Goals and KPIs.
Thank you for your consideration of these comments.
