WORKSHOP AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Chuck Bethel, City Attorney for HR/Labor Relations
SUBJECT: City Manager Performance Review
DATE: March 21, 2012
INTRODUCTION/SUMMARY
Jim Antonen, the City Manager, is now completing his third year of service (he started March 9,
2009); it is time to do an annual review of his performance. I have provided you with
performance evaluation forms earlier this month to use at this workshop as a tool to measure the
performance of the City Manager for the past year. The forms provided have been revised since
our last annual review to allow for additional verbal input on the Manager’s performance. At the
workshop, I will be available to briefly summarize each subject to be reviewed if desired, and
then you may proceed with your discussion and evaluation of that subject.
Finally, pursuant to Minnesota Statute 13D.05 Subd.3 (a) you may close this workshop to
conduct your evaluation. The statute reads in relevant part:
“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.”
You did choose to close the annual review workshop last year. I believe the idea was that a
closed session would allow for a more free flow of discussion. Remember that if you choose to
close the workshop for the evaluation, that upon re-opening the meeting and/or at the next
council meeting the conclusions reached during the evaluation must be summarized for the
record in that next open meeting.
