Regular City Council Meeting Monday,November 19,2012 Page 29 Discussion included current Joint Powers Agreements (JPA's) for Information Technology services and potential liability and cost to the City from potential hackers; and how those liabilities could or would be shared among partners; and technology in place to prevent such invasions. Mayor Roe thanked City Manager Malinen for his feedback; and advised this could serve as a preview of others attending similar events or educational op- portunities and bringing that information back to share with the organization. Further discussion included interesting webinar opportunities with Coun- cilmember McGehee offering to share possibilities with City Manager Malinen on a case by case basis to expand the audience to benefit more. b. Receive City Manager Evaluation Report As a result of tonight's Closed Executive Session for City Manager Malinen's annual evaluation, Mayor Roe provided a brief summary. Mayor Roe noted that the City Manager was the only employee reporting directly to the City Council; and advised that the outcome of the performance review was that it continued to be satisfactory to the City. Mayor Roe advised that areas of improvement were indicated from recommendations of the last annual review; and as part of the 360 degree review process completed through Survey Monkey, improvement had been noted in several areas. On a personal note, Mayor Roe noted that the City Council's performance standards continued to evolve and raise the bar higher; however, he advised that through working together and mutual accomplishments, it benefited the City as an organization, as well as the community at large. Mayor Roe advised that overall, the goals set together were being achieved, and the review process would move toward a semi-annual performance review, with a subcommittee developed to determine that format. Mayor Roe advised that City Manager Malinen had reached the maximum level in the step increase process; and therefore would only be eligible for the 2% COLA increase similar to all City staff for 2013. c.
