SECTION 2, SUBSECTION (g) PERSONNEL - Discussion with Staff Members
regarding a procedure for a Staff level evaluation of the City Manag-
er.
Mayor Pro Tem D. A. Miller explained to Staff members present that
Council would like to provide an opportunity to receive input from
those working with the City Manager on a day-to-day basis so that an
overall evaluation by the Council of the City Manager could be deter-
mined with the emphasis on positive results.
It was the consensus of Council that it would retire to Executive
Session and use the City Charter to determine which Staff members
would be asked to participate in this survey.

to be voluntary; 2) an administrative evaluation form is to be used;
3) it is preferred the form be typed so that anonymity can be main-
tained; 4) the forms are to be mailed to the City Secretary's Office,
with some marking indicating they are confidential for Council; 5) the
City Secretary will have them available for the 9-9-91 Council meeting
under Executive Session; 6) in this Executive Session the Council will

will discuss the overall evaluation, i.e., that of Council and Depart-
ment heads, with the City Manager.
The Council answered questions and concerns of those to be involved in
this process.
In his closing remarks, Mr. Miller expressed the wish of Council that
this was a matter of confidentiality and the result hoped for was a
positive one for all those who work for and serve the City.
