Mr, Chairman: Mr, Kolb, are you preparing a schedule to do evaluations such as
I
these?
2
I
Mr, Kolb: There has not been a formal written evaluation on department heads,
We have had discussions with department heads about performance and at some point,
we will prepare performance agreements with everyone and it will probably be within the
next year,
Mr. Chairman: I think what Mr. Williams is looking for is information about
what justifies a request for a raise, and perhaps you could work along those lines so that
when you begin to come back and say that you want to initiate a 3% pay for performance,
then how are we going to know that the request that you made for that additional pay is
valid, I think that's what he would like to see,
It was the consensus that this will be considered at the next meeting,
ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned,
