Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 12, 2011 Page 38 instead suggested that a nine (9) month evaluation (mini-360 and current rating system with a list of accomplishments to-date) be used; and then this new format be used in evaluating City Manager Malinen for a fifteen (15) month period based on those identified goals. Councilmember Johnson thanked Councilmember Pust for her work; however, he expressed how this tied into the survey; and while agreeing with the criteria, how it could be incorporated into the public domain. Councilmember Johnson advised that he was working with another organization on a manager survey, and he was finding that there were many questions not applicable in the public realm that would be applicable for review by in-house staff or with the City Council. Mayor Roe questioned if this proposal was to change the review form, but noted that goals are one of the City Manager contract. Councilmember Johnson opined that the survey should be more comprehensive as well. Mayor Roe opined that a list of goals and measurement outcomes was one aspect of a review; and the survey was more about qualitative attributes. Councilmember Pust concurred with Councilmember Johnson that this entire list should not be distributed to the 360 participant list; but categories under compe- tencies were taken directly from the survey; and further review of those items ap- propriate or applicable for the public would need to be done. Councilmember McGehee opined that there should be a different survey for the public and another for Department Heads. Regarding this document, Council- member McGehee opined that her biggest problem was what was missing; and that these ideas from staff and the City Council had little to do with the City Man- ager's review, when their completion or lack thereof was based on who he as- signed them to on his staff; rather than what her was personally moving forward with. At approximately 10:05 p.m., Johnson moved, McGehee seconded, extending the meeting for another five minutes to complete this discussion. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Pust; McGehee; Johnson; and Roe. Nays: None. Councilmember McGehee requested more time to review this document and to evaluate the work of the City Manager and his creativity; not what he delegated to other staff.
