Discussion Regarding the Process for the City Administrator's Next Annual Performance Evaluation

Mr. Kurt Ulrich was hired as the City Administrator on September 17, 2007.  Mr. Ulrich’s Employment Agreement requires the completion of an annual 360 degree performance evaluation.
 
Recent Background:
Upon completion of the 2015 performance evaluation, discussion ensued regarding another option for a 360 review tool, called CheckPoint 360° and how it might benefit the City in 2016.  Mr. Ulrich's 2016 performance evaluation was conducted using the CheckPoint 360° online survey.  The process was simplified internally and the completed reports provided a detailed assessment of common leadership competencies.   However, there may be an interest in returning to an assessment tool that is more specific to the role of the City Administrator; such as the SurveyMonkey assessment or other method based on discussion.  
 
The SurveyMonkey evaluation is prepared internally based on the City Administrator's position description, the City's core values and the City Council's  preferences as they relate to the City Administrators's desired performance outcomes.  

A sample of both evaluations is attached.

Up to 10 minutes.

The cost of the online evaluation is $500.00.  There is no additional costs to use SurveyMonkey.

For the City Council to  provide direction regarding the use of the CheckPoint 360° on-line performance assessment tool, to continue using the SurveyMonkey method as was done in previous years, or consider a different approach to conducting the City Administrators next performance evaluation.
