City Council Legal Committee <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 15, 2019 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Muth asked members if they want to include a self -evaluation for each employee. <br />City Manager Balser suggested including one as it helps identify goals. Members <br />agreed they would like to include one. <br />Muth noted that for each of these positions there are a very limited number of <br />staff members who will be completing evaluation forms so answers may be <br />attributable to individuals. She asked if there was any concern with not having <br />anonymity. Members discussed this but the consensus was this was not a <br />concern. <br />Councilmember Leh stated the City needs some kind of bypass or report <br />information directly to the City Council that might be more sensitive particularly <br />related to or from the Judge or Prosecuting Attorney. City Manager Balser stated <br />staff will have to determine a process. Councilmember Leh stated the City should <br />have a formal process in place. This will be a future agenda item. <br />Members directed staff to include provisions for such issues as harassment and <br />a complaint procedure be added to the contracts for appointed officials. This <br />should be done before new contracts are signed. <br />Muth asked if the evaluation forms should be shared with those being evaluated <br />prior to the process beginning. All agreed it is a good idea for each person to <br />know what the evaluation entails. <br />Muth asked if members wanted to do an evaluation of the Deputy Municipal <br />Judge as well as the Municipal Judge. Councilmember Leh said yes; perhaps a <br />pared down version. Councilmember Loo was concerned he is harder to observe <br />as he has fewer court sessions. Councilmember Leh said the Committee simply <br />does its best with that. <br />MUNICIPAL JUDGE <br />Members reviewed the process and questions. <br />Councilmember Loo noted she won't be able to judge "if the rulings are based on <br />law" or not. Councilmember Leh will work on the wording. <br />Councilmember Loo suggested adding a section for each reviewer to add <br />anything else; an open-ended section. Everyone agreed. <br />PROSECUTING ATTORNEY <br />Muth stated she would like to add an evaluation from the directors who work with <br />the Prosecuting Attorney: Police Department, Planning, & Finance specifically. <br />3 <br />
