ANNOUNCEMENT IN OPEN SESSION OF ITEMS TO BE DISCUSSED IN CLOSED SESSION At 3:02 PM, City Attorney Quinn Barrow announced the following Closed Session. The City Council had a discussion regarding the City Manager's contract and the details of a mid-year performance evaluation. Councilmember Howorth feels that the annual performance evaluation for the City Manager is enough and there should not be a Closed Session mid -year performance evaluation without first having a City Council discussion at a regular meeting in which the City Council gives direction that there needs to be a performance evaluation. Councilmember Burton believes that the review should be quarterly and not annually but if nothing else at least semi-annually where the City Council can manage the City Manager. Councilmember Powell realizes that there is no contractual obligation do a semi-annual performance evaluation, however with plenty of notice to the City Council and to the City Manager there is no problem with doing a semi -annual performance evaluation. Mayor Pro Tem Lesser stated that he did not recall the City Council directing a mid-year evaluation and, upon reviewing the contract, understands that reviews are permissible but requires the full City Council to direct a review. City Attorney Quinn Barrow and City Manager Mark Danaj responded to the City Council questions. A motion was made by Councilmember Burton, seconded by Councilmember Powell, to have a mid-year performance evaluation review for the City Manager and City Attorney in the next thirty days and for Facilitator Mary Egan to be present at the performance evaluation. Aye: 4- D'Errico, Lesser, Powell and Burton Nay: 1- Howorth The City Council, agreed that the date of the evaluations would depend on Ms . Egan's availability.
