Commissioner Blake stated, "One of my pet peeves over the last few years
has been this problem of the annual reviews with all the employees and the
timeliness or lack of timeliness." Commissioner Blake further said "I
would like to think that we can do a better job starting today, on that
issue."
Mayor Partyka stated that salaries are a priority, and they have to be
discussed on a timely fashion. Mayor Partyka further stated, "If this
subject is up for discussion in October it should be to this Commission at
least a month before the salary is due. It's a burden on any employee to
wait six (6) months to see if they get a salary or not. That is just good
business practice. So, I urge the City Manager for any future salary
increases including his own, that this come up at least one (1) month -
prior to when it supposed to be effective." Commissioner Blake agreed
and stated, "Hopefully, you are not just talking about the Clerk, or the
Manager, but for every employee that we have."
The following comments were made during the July 24, 2001
Workshop of the City Commission:
"Members of the Commission asked if this could be put on an Agenda,
ahead of the City Clerk's Anniversary date. Manager McLemore said,
"Sure." Mayor Partyka added, "Similar to the Manager's salary - a month
ahead of time of his contract."

With discussion, Commissioner Krebs asked about goals.
City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces stated, "I have a list of things that I have
wanted to do for the past six (6) years and I am not there. I keep trying
and I can submit the list of things that I want to complete."
Mayor Bush noted, "It would be very hard for her to take on personal
things when she is responding to six (6) people all the time -but Andrea
(Lorenzo-Luaces), I think the Commissioner does bring up a good point,
maybe we need to know what these -things are."
Commissioner Krebs added, "I would like to help you meet them too, if
there is a reason you're not."
City Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces stated, "Part of what we are running up against
is this Records Management, now with some of the changes that we are
trying to do, it is going to take even more of our time." Furthermore, City
Clerk Lorenzo-Luaces remarked, "It's things that I have been wanting to
do for six (6) years. I mean, some are huge jobs, I just can't get to them,
so even though Danielle (Harker, Assistant to the City Clerk) is here, we
are not accomplishing all those things because of our day-to-day duties
and everything that comes up - but I will be glad to provide you with that
list."
"I SENT IN A LETTER RECOMMENDING HER FOR THE
CLERK OF THE YEAR, AND I THINK EVERYBODY ELSE DID
ALSO. I THINK BASED ON THAT, I DON'T SEE WHY WE
NEED TO GO THROUGH ADDITIONAL STRUGGLE OVER ALL
THE DETAILS ON THIS. I THINK SHE HAS ENOUGH TO DO
ALREADY, SO I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE APPROVE A
FIVE PERCENT (5%) INCREASE." MOTION BY
COMMISSIONER MILLER. SECONDED BY DEPUTY MAYOR

Further discussion followed on whether there was an Evaluation process for employees of
the City Commission. Commissioner Brown inquired, "Is there a formal process - a
formal document that we use for this purpose?" Commissioner Brown added, "I wonder
if there shouldn't be and maybe this is yet another Workshop, but maybe I think we need
to enter into a more formalized process for individuals who are direct employees of the
Commission."
Discussion continued on other cities.
Manager McLemore stated, "Prior to two (2) years ago, I sat down with the Commission
individually, each year and said "What are your goals for the upcoming year so I can put
them into my report and goals for the year. The Commission basically lost interest in that
process. So, what I have done is gone back to the benchmarks that the Commission has
set which really is the appropriate way, in my opinion."
Commissioner Brown asked Manager McLemore, "So, when are those annual goals set,
or in this case, when were those goals created for you?" Manager McLemore stated, "I
sat down with the Commissioners one on one every year and I created a list. I compiled
that list and brought it back to the Commission and said this is the list we're working
from and there was agreement with that list, and then we would move forward."
Commissioner Brown then inquired, "So, in the past two (2) years?" Manager
McLemore noted, "No, not in the last two (2) years."
Commissioner Brown then said, "I think as long as the Commission is directly
responsible for the City Clerk and the City Manager, the process needs to be the same;
and in this case, if we are not taking the time to do a formalized review and a formal goal
setting expectation, both of these individuals are really working in the dark as to what our
annual objectives and anticipated results are for them."
Further discussion followed on suggested metrics; and evaluation forms.
Deputy Mayor Gilmore suggested, "What I would like personally to see her (Andrea
Lorenzo-Luaces, City Clerk) do is come back with a list of what she did during the year,
her accomplishments. Secondly -let's say, a list of the pay of other City Clerks in our
area and somewhat of a comparison, and I would like to see her bring that back at the
next Meeting, so that we can act on this."
Commissioner Krebs then stated, "I really think it is important to be able to look at how
you are going to evaluate somebody by saying, `Okay, here are what our objectives are'
and usually you set them as a group and then yes, here is how they were met -maybe we
didn't set something; well why didn't we meet it? Maybe there is help that somebody
needs."

Continuing, Commissioner Krebs stated, "I personally think that we should have some
formal kind of -and to Anthony's (Garganese) point, maybe there is something you could
give us that we can look at Anthony (Garganese)'s -that there should be a structure that
we follow. This isn't structured." Furthermore, Commissioner Krebs noted, "Andrea
(Lorenzo-Luaces) has done that before, as a matter of fact if I am not mistaken. You
have given us what basically you set out to do for the year; what you accomplished
during that period of time; what you still have left."
Discussion ensued on what the City Clerk has given the City Commission in past years.
Commissioner McGinnis noted, "I think when you analyze everything Andrea (Lorenzo-
Luaces) does, you will realize that it really doesn't make sense to me that she is only
accountable to the Commission and not the City Manager as in most cities."
Commissioner McGinnis added - "Because it is City business. It is just not confined to
the City Commission and I think we need to look at that at some point; but -Andrea
(Lorenzo-Luaces) has given us what was wanted in the past. I would suggest to you, not
a timeline as in the past but a job synopsis."
Commissioner Miller commented on the process and noted that "My experience now has
been that you sit down at the beginning of the year. She tells you what she is going to do
and we know by the end of the year, whether or not most of those things have happened."
Furthermore, Commissioner Miller added, "I think what we got last year was adequate. I
-didn't care for the first one because it was too long and basically month in, month out I
sit here and I watch what is going on and you see the stuff going on and you hear people
that work on City Boards who will tell you `Yes, the Minutes are produced on time; we
are happy with her performance.' I just don't see the purpose of getting into an
exhaustive analysis document four (4) or five (5) pages long."

Additionally, Commissioner Krebs then commented on Goals and said, "Could you bring
that back?" Commissioner Krebs added, "What I would like on that one (1) page is just
the thing that you have been able -out of your Goals to do, because -that is moving
forward. That is a good thing. I would like to see that."
Continuing, Commissioner Krebs stated, "She had objectives, so that the objectives
would be on that one (1) page; and then she also had Goals and she would pull out the
ones that she was able to meet on that one (1) page -and going forward, she would also
have continuing - we have yet to see what she is working on."
Mayor Bush suggested, "I think the Commission needs to approve her Goals, so she
doesn't work on something that you all don't think she should be doing or you know it is
not achievable without adding -more Clerks." Commissioner Krebs asked, "Wouldn't
we do that when she brought that forward?" Mayor Bush said, "Yes. But the
Commission would then filter the Goals so to speak."
"I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE ASK ANDREA
(LORENZO-LUACES) TO PRODUCE A ONE (1) PAGE LIST OF HER

practice of waiting for the Audit to come out, so we'd know what our year-end results
were and then I could write - a reasonable Performance analysis for you in the year.
