III. TOWN MANAGER PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROCESS & TIMELINE
The Committee reviewed and discussed possible revisions to the performance evaluation form used for the Town Manager. The Committee asked Mr. Hart to have ICMA coordinate a 360 degree evaluation process for him. The 360 degree process will be used as a professional development tool and Mr. Hart will provide a verbal report of what he learned from the process during his evaluation review[1] with Council. Mr. Hart offered to complete both the self-evaluation form and the Council’s evaluation form during his self-evaluation process. The Committee would like to explore the feasibility of completing the evaluation forms through Survey Monkey or a similar online tool; Ms. Capriola agreed to help Mr. Haddad with the efforts in updating the form, creating an online tool, and establishing a timeline for the process.
The Committee stated that future agenda items will be: policy on Council and Mayor communications (on behalf of the Council as a whole); comp time policies and procedures; resolution on public hearings/ordinances.
The meeting concluded at 7:30 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,
Maria E. Capriola
Assistant to Town Manager
[1] Would most likely be unable to implement and complete this process for the current evaluation period.
