City of Center vi lIe Council Meeting Minutes December 19,2002 Council Member Nelson indicated that she does not feel that Ms. Moore-Sykes is using her gifts to the greatest capacity so she is happy that the resolution passed to approve the new organization. She then said that it is her goal in both of the reviews to try and evaluate from what she sees and try to evaluate what can be done for the best of the City Administrator and the City. Council Member Nelson said she never thought in her mind of any terminating but of what could be done to make this work better. Council Member Capra indicated she had provided an evaluation form and she is a little upset that it left the office as it is supposed to stay at the office. She then said that her main issue is follow up or follow through because she feels the City Administrator is ultimately responsible and needs to make sure that Council directives take place. Council Member Capra asked for an answer or solution for the follow through issue as she did not feel the response read addressed it. Council Member Capra commented that there are errors with posting and indicated that if she had not called to remind the City Clerk to post a recent meeting that it vTOuld not have been done. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated the City Clerk posted the referred posting on Monday, which was within the three-day timeframe. lVlotion bv Council Member Capra. seconded bv Council Member Travis to approve a two percent (2 %) step increase retroactive to October with a review date set for three months. Council Member Travis indicated he did an evaluation form but did not know he was to turn it in. He then said that the three people on Council are the hardest people to please and Ms. Moore-Sykes has done a very good job. He further commented that he looks forward to working with Ms. Moore-Sykes in the future. Council Member Broussard Vickers reiterated her comments from the last evaluation and said she feels Ms. Moore-Sykes has done an outstanding job this last year and, if she had to guess, she would say it was the toughest year as an employee anywhere due to the number of things confronting the City and the seriousness of the issues. She then said she is not as concerned with follow up based on the numerous items being thrown at the City Administrator because she feels the City Administrator will prioritize the items and they will get done in time. Council Member Broussard Vickers indicated she is extremely happy with the choice made a year ago to hire Ms. Moore-Sykes and does not feel anyone could have done a better job assisting the City with the many issues over the last year. She further commented that she feels Ms. Moore-Sykes deserves the full step increase at this time and sees no reason to wait for three months and withhold the other two percent (2%). Page 14 of 15
