took out until they came up with the <br />instruments. <br /> <br />Regular City Council Meeting <br />February 10, 2003 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />10 areas presently in the evaluation <br /> <br />Councilwoman Neeley said they came up with a grid and evaluation score and <br />decided 4 would be walk on water, 2 needs improvements and 1 unsatisfactory. <br />When these are applied by seven Council Members you are not going to come up <br />with a 2, 1 or 3; you will come up with a decimal number. The committee <br />started with the highest, 4, and decided no one would get a 4. If someone got <br />above a 3 they were more than satisfactory. They backed down five-tenths until <br />they got to the 1.5 as being unsatisfactory. Ifa person between a 1.5 and a 2.4 <br />they need to show improvement. If there is no improvement then that becomes <br />an unsatisfactory rating the next time they are evaluated. Mayor Pfiester asked <br />if someone's rating was 1.3 what would that be. Councilwoman Neeley stated <br />clearly that was unsatisfactory and the contract would not be renewed. <br /> <br />She explained that the contract is granted for a three-year period. This is a usual <br />contract period for professional categories, cities, and contracts that are governed <br />by boards. Councilwoman Neeley said the initial contract is granted for three <br />years and then each year it will be looked at, either renewed for one year, or not <br />renewed. At that time, if it is not renewed, they will still have two years left on <br />a contract, but she was making the assumption that if a person does not get their <br />contract renewed, they would be floating around knowing that everybody is ready <br />for that person to leave or figuring how to retire, because they are not going to <br />get a recommendation from the City of Paris on another job. <br /> <br />Mayor Pfiester questioned how the contract would work if it was not renewed <br />one year, asking if it could possibly be extended back to three years the next year. <br /> <br />Councilman McCarthy said if a person gets a bad evaluation such as 1.3, that is <br />not approval for the next year. The evaluation is going to point out areas where <br />improvement is needed. Mayor Pfiester stated that he had discussed the Red <br />River Valley Fair Association contract with Mr. Malone because the city is tied <br />to a contract they cannot get out of unless they pay to get out of it.
