Regular City Council Meeting <br />February 10, 2003 <br />Page 9 <br /> <br />Mr. Waldrum said that an evaluation at the level of 1.5 to 2.4, needs <br />improvement, could continue for ten years and the City Council could not do <br />anything about it. If the official did not seek to improve, City Council could not <br />do anything about it as long as the official maintained a rating above a 1.5. Mr. <br />Waldrum pointed out that the contract has a mistake where it says, ~the city <br />official fails to receive an average composite evaluation rating of 1.5." He said <br />he assumes the contract means in %xcess of 1.5" because if the official did not <br />receive a 1.5 that is no good. This error needs to be corrected. <br /> <br />Mr. Waldrum asked that these contracts be looked at to see if this is what the city <br />really needs. He said the fact that so few people knew about them until today is <br />another reason why the City Council should be slow in making a decision. <br /> <br />Councilman Bell said the committee was appointed in a city council meeting <br />approximately three months ago. The citizens did not pay attention to what was <br />happening. This is not the first time he has seen people come forward saying that <br />they did not know about something. He said nobody pays attention. This is not <br />the first time it has come up and it is not a real good argument. <br /> <br />Don Wilson, 3110 Stacy Lane, came forward telling the City Council that the <br />major reasons for his attendance tonight have been addressed. He said that there <br />has been major talk around town that there are employees in the city with a <br />substantial amount of comp time. Based on previous things that have been said, <br />the people might not have had all the information on this issue, but it is still there <br />and there are so many different comments about it that there is a question <br />whether ~is there smoke here, or is there fire?" Mr. Wilson advised that it has <br />been said that the City Manager has thousands and hundreds of thousands of <br />dollars of comp time built up. Mr. Wilson said you cannot take that lightly. He <br />said there was the Earl Smith situation and what was done in that situation was <br />done by the City Manager. Mr. Wilson directed his comments to Mr. Malone, <br />stating that he left himself wide open by giving Mr. Smith more than what was <br />said in the handbook, more than the 30 days, even knowing that he had all of this <br />vacation time accrued. It would have been much better to simply say you were <br />going to pay him for 30 days and then contract out with Mr. Smith. He said <br /> <br /> <br />
