• Honor the Council-Staff Partnership The challenge here is to respect both the Council's Sphere of Influence and the Administrator/Staff Sphere of Influence. Circle the numbers of the roles you believe the Council takes the lead in. Range For Mission: 1 1 1 1 1 1 Range For Goals/Results: 2 2 2 2 2 . Range For Policy: 3 3 3 3 3 3 Range For Administration: Range For Management: 5 5f. 3.00 In general do you think the Council as it deals with the Administrator/Staff: Range: 3 2 3 3 3 4 Under-Manages Manages Just Right Micro-Manages 1 2 3 4 5 Reasons for high ratings. Reasons for low ratings. ➢ We lack performance measures for staff. In general, the council manages just right but there is some to either extreme. All of us have • tendencies to either go to the far left or the far right on occasion. ➢ I'm still trying to understand my sphere of influence outside of the voting process. s When I get complaints from residents, or have an idea about what I would like to see happen, I pass it on to staff. I feel like I'm providing quality control or performance feedback to staff and sometimes meddling in their work. Other times, my comments seem well received. ➢ The Council under-manages. ➢ The mayor over-manages (although less than before). Things we need to work on. Performance measurement. The staff needs to keep involving the entire Council in the decision making process and not depend solely on the Mayor. Comments made by Council: ➢ There are some pieces of administrative stuff that I would like to contribute to. ➢ What are good boundaries in this area? ➢ How do we know our boundaries and responsibilities? ➢ We are doing okay in this area. Hopefully the Staff will let us know if we are crossing our boundaries • or our responsibilities. 8
