FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL DATE: February 6, 2001STAFF:
Rick DeLaCastro
SUBJECT:
Resolution 2001-18 Amending Resolution 2000-123 Pertaining to the Process for Evaluating the
Performance of the City Manager, City Attorney and Municipal Judge.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolu tion.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Resolution amends the process for evaluating the performance of the City Manager,City Attorney and
Municipal Judge in two respects. First, it establishes a deadline for the employees to submit to the Council
their compensation requests for the ensuing year. Second,it amends the process for approval of any changes
in the compensation of the employees,and any revisions to the employees'contracts,so as to allow for more
flexibility in the timing of the ordinance and resolution accomplishing such changes.
BACKGROUND:
On October 17, 2000, Council adopted Resolution 2000-123 establishing a process for evaluating the
performance of the City Manager, City Attorney and Municipal Judge. The process had been proposed to
the Council by the affected employees and the Council Governance Committee, after a series of meetings
of the Committee.
During the annual performance reviews of the City Manager, City Attorney and Municipal Judge, Council
and staff identified a need for two changes in the process, and this Resolution would accomplish those
changes. First, a deadline needs to be established for the employees' submission of any compensation
requests to the Council. The deadline proposed in this Resolution would be one week prior to the
employees'evaluations. Secondly,the provisions of the resolution relating to the Council's approval of any
change in the employees'compensation and any revisions to their contracts needs to be amended to allow
for more flexibility in the timing of the ordinance and resolution that would approve those changes. At
present,the resolution calls for the ordinance to be adopted no later than the last meeting in November. The
purpose for this is to ensure that the ordinance will be adopted in sufficient time for the change in
compensation to take effect as of the first full pay period of the ensuing year. Because, in a given year,that
goal can be accomplished even if the ordinance is heard on first reading in December,the language has been
changed to allow more flexibility in the deadline for adoption of the ordinance. Similarly, the language of
the original resolution would be amended to allow for the approval of any contract revisions to take place
on either first or second reading of the ordinance approving the change in compensation.
