Commissioner
Van Der Weide discussed concerns he has about the evaluation process of the
Commission Administrative Aides. He
stated in the past, the Aides were evaluated by the Commissioner they worked
for before it was forwarded to the
Commissioner Henley stated he also has concerns about the process because he does not believe the Commissioners’ input carry much weight. He said the purpose of an evaluation should be for improvement of performance and not to determine if someone is going to receive a merit pay raise. He further said he believes it is a flaw in the evaluation system when you tell someone that they don’t meet standards, but don’t tell them what they can do in order meet the standards. He stated he believes it is important to evaluate more than one time a year and for the evaluator to be very specific as to what the individual needs to do in order to meet that standard. Also, he believes that hearsay information carries too much weight in the evaluation process.
Commissioner McLean stated he thinks everyone agrees that these positions are unique to the County. He said that he agrees that they need to look at more specific goals and guidelines. He added, that in his case, he believes he had an opportunity to make changes and to give his input.
Commissioner Dallari stated he wants to make sure that not only the Commission Aides, but all County staff is consistently evaluated. He added that he is still waiting for Human Resources to give him a list of salary increases for last year.
Chairman
Carey reminded the Board that when the Board approved the “pay for performance”
program a couple years ago, the evaluation process changed. She said she agrees that there needs to be
trained evaluators and it needs to be done more than once a year. She said she did have an opportunity to give
comments on her Aide’s evaluation, but she does not believe many of them were
taken into consideration. She further
said that what makes the Aides unique is that they work for the
Commissioner Van Der Weide emphasized that he does not want anything to interfere with a Commissioner’s ability to communicate and deal with the citizens. He said to be questioned on why he did not notify someone on staff, he feels is inappropriate and he is not going to do it.
Chairman
Carey stated she believes a way to resolve this is to hold a work session with the
Commissioner Dallari stated he would also like to review how the evaluators are being trained and their experience.
DCM Forte advised Directors and Managers will be meeting in November and they will address this as far as the evaluators are concerned, the content of the evaluations, and what the standards are.
Chairman Carey stated that when the Board approved this system, they said at the time that training of the evaluator was a critical component. She said the Board will look for an update in December. Whereupon, DCM Forte commented that the update will come to the Board in either December or January.
The
Chairman suggested that before staff comes up with a plan, that the
-------
Commissioner
McLean requested one-time emergency maintenance on Van Arsdale from
The Chairman questioned if this is a private road.
Director of Public Works, Gary Johnson, advised he believes this road is public. However, he would like to review this as he is not familiar with this section of the road.
Chairman Carey stated the District Commissioner will take this item up with Mr. Johnson; and, if the Board needs to take some action, it will be brought back for consideration.
