Strategic Plan In addition to the aforementioned accomplishments, I also believe we have made great strides towards implementing a new paradigm in the operations of City government and the delivery of City services. This is evidenced by the adoption of our new Strategic Plan and its inherent basic values: 1. Transparency 2. Customer Service 3. Fiscal Responsibility 4. Excellence 5. Teamwork We have worked diligently to implement and adhere to these values and have received many positive comments from our citizens regarding our progress. Additionally, staff continues to pursue the Commission - adopted goals incorporated in our Strategic Plan and to implement the strategies associated with achieving those goals. While the plan is to officially review the status /progress of our Strategic Plan in October 2010 (one -year from implementation), an interim status report on our progress is attached herein to aid the Commission in its current review of the Manager's performance. Proposed Evaluation Form Although, to my knowledge, this type of process has not been utilized in the past, it is my recommendation that the Commission implement a measurable and quantifiable Evaluation and Scoring Process (i.e., an Evaluation Form) for its utilization in evaluating the annual performance of the City Manager. In this regard, I have prepared an Evaluation Form for the Commission's consideration (attached). Please be advised that I have taken a "straight- line" approach in weighting the scoring. My thought is that all rating areas are important and if not, should not be included. I would respectfully request that you review this Evaluation Form and provide any input, additions, changes you deem necessary. Of course, if the Commission desires to utilize a different type of evaluation instrument, I will be happy to implement such as the Commission sees fit. If the Commission agrees with utilization of this evaluation process, and the associated proposed Evaluation Form provided herein, I would respectfully request that the Commission utilize the performance information and data provided in this agenda item (as well as any and all additional information the Commission deems appropriate) and complete the City Manager's Performance Evaluation Form in preparation for further consideration and action at the June 28, 2010 Commission meeting. JUNE 14, 2010 • REGULAR AGENDA ITEM 605 PAGE 3 FISCAL IMPACT: Due to budget constraints, City employees were not given merit increases and no funds are allocated for this purpose in FY 2010. COMMUNICATION EFFORTS: No additional Communication Efforts are needed at this time.
