Regular Council Meeting March 25, 2019 Page 5 With the exception of number 8 (future tenants who maintain their primary residence in Lamar County shall have priority over those from outside the county), a motion to approve the amendments was made by Council Member Pilgrim and seconded by Council Member Portugal. Motion carried, 7 ayes — 0 nays. 17. Discuss process for annual evaluations of city employees reporting directly to council. Mayor Clifford said this was a procedural item and a slight alteration to how the city manager, city attorney and municipal judge were going to be evaluated by City Council. He asked that Council Member Portugal explain the process. Council Member Portugal said for those new to the Council last year, they felt pressure in getting everything done all in one night and not having time to review the forms. Council Member Portugal also said to be fair to the three employees they should give a thorough examination of their work. She said giving the employees measure of improvements needed and a pat on the back where due, would give each employee a tool they could use. Mayor Clifford said they would have some discussions in executive session, pass out the evaluation forms and begin evaluations. 18. Convene into Executive Session pursuant to: Section 551.071 of the Texas Government Code, Consultation with Attorney, to receive legal advice from the City Attorney about pending or contemplated litigation and/or on matters in which the duty of an attorney to her client under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct of the State Bar of Texas clearly conflict with this chapter, as follows: • Paris Regional Medical Center • 260 S. Main Street (Belford Apartments) Section 551.074 of the Texas Government Code, (1) to deliberate the appointment, employment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline, or dismissal of a public officer or employee, as follows: • Annual evaluation of the city manager; • Annual evaluation of the municipal judge; • Annual evaluation of the city attorney. Mayor Clifford convened City Council into executive session at 6:22 p.m. 19. Reconvene into Open Session and possibly take action on those matters discussed in Executive Session. Mayor Clifford reconvened City Council into open session at 6:47 p.m. He said they received legal advice from the city attorney on the item listed and began the evaluation process.
