City Attorney <br />stated that Council could place a time limit on it now or propose conditions this evening. Council <br />Member Lakso stated that it would not cross anyone’s mind unless it was prompted every year on <br />the Agenda. The Personnel Committee exists and would feel better to revisit annually as a Council <br />as members could change, the tone of Council could change, it could become a burden to complete <br />on a monthly basis and that would be unfair/not honoring the Administrator’s work.

Attorney <br />Glaser stated that the Mayor has been completing similarly to private industry and applying it here. <br />He also stated that the system in place had been that the Administrator had been reviewed annually <br />and the Committee had not been giving these to him. The Committee felt that due to timeliness it <br />would be important to give to him on a monthly basis. He stated that permission has not been <br />granted by Council so the Administrator has not been receiving. Council Member King suggested <br />quarterly. City Administrator Statz stated that he and the Mayor would like to continue the <br />monthly review. He stated that the remainder of Council can add to it or review it for <br />appropriateness. He also stated that if Mayor Love was no longer Mayor and that individual was <br />not as passionate the process would need to be flexible or modified.
