Hansley, City Manager Date: August 25, 1997 /~~ Re: Proposed Performance Goals for 1997-98 and Proposed Employment Contract Modifications. I have been requested by Council Member Stillwell, in her role as Chair of Council's Administrative Committee to provide you with proposed perfornlance goals for the next twelve months and my proposed changes to the current Employment Agreement. I recognize that I serve at the pleasure of City Council and I firmly believe that the main function of the Administration is to fully execute all policies of the Council. I am hopeful that our `"""° discussion tonight will result in clear direction from Council as to what you wish the Administration to focus on for the balance of this year and for the first half of 1998. I. 1~'orJcso~v_ar_d~lr_c_c_e~sfirl_c_olzrpl_~tio~i of a11~Qals_aur! p~~ojects~vJticlr~av_e pxel~io_resly_Ge_cir. idetttife__d_as_prorities_b_y_City C_o_rr~tcil. These include such goals and projects as: Continue parkland development and other land acquisitions; Continue aggressive funding of traffic infrastructure in the Capital Improvement Projects; Identify methods to enhance the economic development and utilization of Old Dublin; this includes a variety of issues including a study of the existing structures in Old Dublin and the development of a "group variance" code. This would also include final action on acquiring both gas stations; Page 2 August 25, 1997 Work with Council toward the adoption of the revised Community Plan and the implementation of all appropriate portions including a possible revision of the zoning code that would decrease the need for frequent negotiations/variances; ,~:., Work with Council to develop a 1998 goal by the end of this year which addresses facility needs for the Dublin community. The goal should be based on the Geisler Study and the adopted Community Plan and should also incorporate the existing "Town `--.~ Center" and "Conference Center" goals as well as review the need for a park in the Southwest area; Work with Council to finalize plans for Phase II of the Community Recreation Center; Complete all other on-going Capital Improvement Projects, including the West Branch Sewer. II. Continue to focus on imvroving the relationship between City Council and the Administration. I was extremely disappointed to learn that Council's expectations in the areas of Mindedness, Coo erp ation, Diplomacy, and Communication with Council are not being met by me personally and by the staff in general. Even though I have undertaken several specific changes since my last evaluation, it is obvious that Council is still seeking major improvement, especially in the area of communication with Council. I believe that by working together we can enhance the many ways in which we interact. Specifically, in each area my personal goals are: a. Open-Mindedness - be more receptive to suggestions from others; - undertake renewed effort to ensure that both sides of an issue are given in all presentations to Council, both verbal and written; - be more willing to change my personal position when the presentation of new information offers this opportunity. b. Cooperation - make a concerted effort to work in harmony with all parties that I encounter, such as citizens, staff, and especially Council and its individual members. c. Dinlo - work toward major improvement in the way I interact with others, both internal and external to the City organization. The goal would be to deal tactfully with others in order to minimize any potential conflict. Page 3 August 25, 1997 d. ~ommunic~atio~»itlLCit_~CQUncil - I pledge to work with the Mayor, the Chair of the Administrative Committee and individual Council Members to identify specific strategies to improve the various ~" ways in which I the Administration communicates information to City Council. It has been a source of extreme personal frustration that I have been unable to improve in this area. I am willing to review with Council any additional specific strategies that you might suggest to make dramatic improvement in this performance dimension. III.
