Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 22,2015 Page 16 no meaningful way to measure it or change it, and therefore there was no need for it to be addressed on staffs radar. Councilmember Laliberte opined that, if resi- dents didn't believe Councilmembers were being respectful of each other or them, they would address that during the next election cycle. Organizational Effectiveness Councilmember Laliberte also suggested striking this section entirely. While the community and staff cared, Councilmember Laliberte noted the City Manager was hired and had expressed confidence that he could lead the organization in the most effective way possible. Therefore, Councilmember Laliberte clarified that the community, City Council and staff either believed that or didn't, and it would become self-evident in other ways. Regarding the KOI of employee satisfaction, Councilmember Laliberte opined there was no need to hire another consultant, but under the City Manger's leader- ship and during employee reviews or exit interviews, part of the discussion should be why people stayed or didn't stay. Councilmember Laliberte further noted that employee turnover could serve as another tracking measure. Specific to the KOI for resource allocation, Councilmember Laliberte noted this was already under review by the City Manager and his management staff, and would be further reviewed annually by the City Council during the budget pro- cess. Councilmember Laliberte suggested that the proposed strategic initiative suggest- ing an annual review of organizational interdependencies and collaboration op- portunities was another aspect of why the City Manager was hired and part of what he was already doing. If he had concerns or opportunities that should be brought to the attention of the City Council, Councilmember Laliberte opined that he could do so, but there was no need for any additional tracking. Infrastructure Sustainability Without focused work form this group or a lack of funds for improvements, Councilmember Laliberte opined there was a need for the City Council to focus on the CIP as part of the KOI for capital improvement funding should be incorpo- rated in the budget process sooner rather than later. Councilmember Laliberte noted the pending nature of the asset management software program across the organization and the City Council's desire to see that completed, opining that ur- gency should be monitored moving forward. Regarding the infrastructure condition KOI, Councilmember Laliberte suggested this should already be part of the City Manager's work and area of focus for each department as they worked around industry standards.
