Title
Town Manager’s Evaluation.
Summary:
I have received either a completed evaluation form or have had a conversation with each of the commissioners regarding my performance over the last year and a half. I appreciated the time and feedback that each of the commissioners provided. Common themes in our discussion included continuing to improve communications, staying the course on long-term plan development and continuing to develop a succession plan for employees in the town. I’ve attached the completed instruments from each commissioner to agenda item. The average score from the completed evaluations is 3.73 out of 4.0 possible.
Town-wide, the staff is about to bring a new evaluation instrument to the Commission for approval. I think it would be appropriate for the Town Manager’s evaluation to be similar to the general employees and I will bring it back before the Commission for specific discussion as it relates to the Town Manager position.
End
Body
Previous Commission Action: The commission previously agreed to provide an evaluation annually.
Background/Problem Discussion: The commission previously agreed to provide an annual evaluation. Any merit adjustment is solely at the commission’s discretion. As a guide, if I were general employee my aggregate score of 3.73 out of 4.0 would make me eligible for a 3% merit increase on my anniversary date. Additionally, I am nearing my maximum accruals for vacation time, and due to Hurricane IRMA and other extensive projects, I wasn’t able to use much leave this year. My request would be that the commission would provide for the 3% merit increase as of my anniversary date and to provide for some buyback of accrued leaves up to 240 hours, which would reduce the long-term leave liability for those hours.
Expenditure Challenges: None. Unless the Commission would like to provide for some merit increase, which is budgeted. Additionally, any buyback of accrued leaves would reduce the town’s long-term liability and funded from the assigned fund balance.
Recommendation: N/A.
Proposed Motion: None, unless the commission chooses to provide a merit increase or other adjustment.
