I <br />well as one for teachers. She said they again cut, pasted, marked out, wrote in, <br />took out until they came up with the 10 areas presently in the evaluation <br />instruments. <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 <br />up 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. If a 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 />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 <br />governed by-boards. Councilwoman Neeley said the initial contract is granted <br />for three years and then each year it will be looked at, either renewed for one <br />year, or not renewed. At that time, if it is not renewed, they will still have two <br />years left on a contract, but she was making the assumption that if a person does <br />not get their contract renewed, they would be floating around knowing that <br />everybody is ready for that person to leave or figuring how to retire, because <br />they are not going to get a recommendation from the City of Paris on another <br />job. <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 <br />year. <br />Councilman McCarthy said if a person gets a bad evaluation such as 1.3, that <br />is not approval for the next year. The evaluation is going to point out areas <br />where improvement is needed. Mayor Pfiester stated that he had discussed the <br />
