It was decided that annual goals be set with <br />quarterly evaluations. The progress of each goal is to be substantiated and progress <br />documented. If the goals are not progressing as anticipated, written documentation <br />affecting the progress should be included. It was noted that some of the goals such as the <br />1999 Budget should be completed by year end. <br />• <br />• <br />John was concerned that Dave, as Interim Administrator, needed time to demonstrate that <br />he had been given a proven team of staff to achieve all of the stated goals. He stated that <br />the Council supported this proposal two (2) weeks ago and the Mayor is now asking for a <br />major change in the support of this appointment. Further discussion followed regarding <br />staff's qualifications and the proposal for City Engineer. Kim, Caroline and Chris felt the <br />staff member was not qualified and should be removed from the position. John and Andy <br />felt that the staff member should be given four (4) months to demonstration his abilities. <br />Dave asked that this matter not be placed on the Council agenda. He was instructed to <br />speak to this staff member about what the majority of the Council had decided. Caroline <br />and Chris discussed their concern regarding the City Engineer appointment. Kim, Andy <br />and John did not agree with their concerns. It was decided to leave the request for <br />appointment of the City Engineer on the agenda this evening. <br />Dave was directed to research a plan to set standards and goals for each staff member. <br />The consequences for non-performance should also be included in the plan. He was also <br />asked to contact the League of Minnesota Cities to research options for the plan. <br />There being no further discussion on these issues, the special meeting was adjourned and <br />the City Council reconvened in the Council Chambers for the regular Council meeting. <br />These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at <br />Council meeting. <br />mber 21, 1998 regular <br />Marilyn G.
