Discussion Regarding the Annual Performance Review of the City Administrator, an Individual Who is Subject to the City Council's Authority-May be Closed to the Public

Mr. Brian Hagen was hired as the City Administrator on June 15, 2022.  As per Mr. Hagen's Employment Agreement with the City, a 360 degree performance evaluation was conducted.  The Mayor and Mr. Hagen met previously and discussed the evaluation.
 
Mr. Hagen's performance evaluation includes feedback from the City Council, his direct reports and Mr. Hagen himself. The results of the evaluation will be provided at the closed meeting where Mr. Hagen will meet with the full City Council to discuss his performance and receive feedback. At his discretion, Mr. Hagen may choose to open the meeting to the public.
 
Minnesota Statute 13D.05, Subd. 3a states “A public body may close a meeting to evaluate the performance of an individual who is subject to its authority. The public body shall identify the individual to be evaluated prior to closing a meeting. At its next open meeting, the public body shall summarize its conclusions regarding the evaluation. A meeting must be open at the request of the individual who is the subject of the meeting.”
 
Please note that both the performance evaluation and the City Councils' discussion regarding Mr. Hagen's performance are private and may not be discussed outside of the closed session.

Approximately 30 minutes.
