Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 09,2012 Page 15 Councilmember Pust opined that the meeting be condensed to one rather than two meetings, to ensure greater efficiencies. Councilmember McGehee opined that the meetings remain in two parts: one for strategic planning and one to develop a work plan. Mayor Roe noted that both meetings were proposed to be three hours or less. Johnson moved, McGehee seconded, authorizing staff to set a special meeting for January 30, 2012 for strategic planning; and if necessary to set aside February 6, 2012 for a continuation of that meeting, if deemed necessary by the City Council at the January 30th meeting. Roll Call Ayes: Pust; Willmus; Johnson; McGehee; and Roe. Nays: None. d. Receive the City Manager Evaluation Report Mayor Roe briefly reviewed the City Council's annual performance evaluation of City Manager Malinen in Closed Executive Session on December 5, 2011 and continued into December 12, 2011. Mayor Roe advised that the evaluation was done using a modified 360 degree evaluation using input from Councilmembers, City staff and members of the community with whom City Manager Malinen in- teracted. Mayor Roe advised that the review of and results of the evaluation pro- cess provided for a good discussion, with the end result determining that City Manager Malinen's performance was satisfactory; and as a result merited his final salary step increase for 2012. Mayor Roe noted that this brought Mr. Malinen to the end of the step process, with future salary considerations based on those of other City employees. Mayor Roe thanked City Manager Malinen for his service; and expressed his interest in another year of working together, followed by anoth- er evaluation at that time. 14. City Manager Future Agenda Review City Manager Malinen reviewed upcoming agenda items. As previously requested by Councilmember McGehee, Mayor Roe noted future discus- sions were for the purpose of a discussion on whether to enact certain financial policies as ordinance; and if so, what those ordinances may look like. 15. Councilmember-Initiated Items for Future Meetings Councilmember McGehee questioned the procedure to receive additional information on pending litigation and its current standing in the court system. Councilmember McGehee noted that the City Council had never had discussions on hiring legal counsel and a poli- cy for that hiring for this case.
