MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 27, 1989 POSITION APPOINTMENT- LIEUTENANT CONTINUED testing was changed to allow for certain persons to test. She also questioned the drastic contrast between the scores achieved by the outside testing versus the Chief /Administrator evaluation. Mayor Grabek expressed his belief that the criteria involved in each of these areas were management technics and philosophies and that they should not be discussed in an open meeting. He added that if there were concerns and questions about management's technics, that it would be looked into. He encouraged the Ms. Anderson's and Ms. Morowczynski's husbands to approach management or himself to voice their opinions. Ms. Morowczynski questioned whether coming forth would jeopardize the Officers' job security. She said that was a reason why the officers were afraid to speak out and that they did not trust management. Mayor Grabek stated that the matter would be looked into. Councilmember Goetten said that it was not her intention to question the methods of the City Administrator. However, there were some questions that needed to be discussed. It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by Councilmember Peterson, to table this item. Mayor Grabek agreed that in lieu of the concerns that had been raised, that tabling was appropriate. Councilmember Callahan did not object to tabling this item, but questioned what it was that needed to be investigated. Mayor Grabek answered that there were certain issues that were brought forth. Councilmember Nettles observed that if the Council was questioning the process, and the two persons that were being asked to supply that information were the persons directly involved with the process, how would the Council go about it?
