MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETEING Monday, MAY 13, 2019 7:00 o'clock p.m. Johnson suggested some articles on the garden be included in the City newsletter. Printup moved to extend the license agreement for the community garden past 2022. Printup noted the agreement is currently renewed every five years. Rief asked whether Staff should bring the license agreement back before the City Council in case they would like to make any other changes. Mattick suggested it be discussed at a work session. THE ABOVE MOTION WAS NOT SECONDED. Rief stated based on his notes for the work session, they will be reviewing city parcels, the Crystal Bay Road situation, this parcel, and then the Comprehensive Plan relating to density. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT 29. HR EVALUATIONS DISCUSSION Johnson stated one of their proposals was to do an evaluation with City Administrator Dustin Rief and get some feedback from some of his reports. Dustin suggested they get full Council support on doing an evaluation and then to have a full Council vote on recommending that an evaluation be done by reaching out to his subordinates and indirect reports. Walsh stated Johnson and Seals will be acting as a team for that project. Seals stated they would like to have evaluations completed by his subordinates and then Dustin complete the same evaluation. Seals indicated that information would then be sent to the City Council. All evaluations would be anonymous except for Dustin's. Mattick noted the City Council can hold a closed meeting to discuss an evaluation of an employee but that it is recorded. The employee can request a copy of that recording. Seals commented she comes from a culture where they do evaluations twice a year and that currently the City of Orono does not have a robust evaluation system in place. Walsh moved, Crosby seconded, to appoint Council Members Johnson and Seals to the evaluation committee. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0 MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT, CONTINUED Johnson noted he will not be in attendance at the next City Council meeting. Crosby reported he attended the dedication of the Wayzata Police Memorial earlier today where they specifically honored Police Sergeant Anderson and Officer Matthews. Sergeant Anderson was shot in the line of duty and Officer Matthews was hit by a car while cleaning debris off the road. Crosby stated our thoughts go out to those two families and the law enforcement community.
