Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 11,2015 Page 22 Councilmember Etten clarified that he felt an employee survey was important, but not as a KOI,but as one of the targets from building organizational strength. Mayor Roe noted that clarification provided a level of agreement between Coun- cilmembers Etten and McGehee. Mayor Roe suggested referencing the meeting notes from the Retreat to determine the discussion on this KOI and how it had evolved to this, and whether employee satisfaction was originally part of organizational strength. Mayor Roe opined that having a handle on the needs of the organization was a key part as well as em- ployee satisfaction, and suggested moving the "employee satisfaction" KOI fur- ther right on the summary.

While the program was really borne out of the Public Works Department, Mr. Culver advised that discussion was ongoing for imple- mentation with other departments, with the Parks & Recreation beginning to use it, and another review being done city-wide to see if there were ways for their de- partments to make use of the software program. Councilmember McGehee asked City Manager Trudgeon for clarification if it had been the intent, when the City Council supported the software, that every depart- ment become engaged, at least at a minimum to catalogue assets. City Manager Trudgeon confirmed that intent, advising that it was still in process, but was not there yet, and would continue to be a continual process for some time, recognizing that the Parks & Recreation Department had recently made substan- tial progress, and other departments were still coming.
