For Department Heads, the City Administrator will make note of any City Council feedback regarding Department Head performance and summarize the Council's comments when writing the Department Head's performance evaluation. The City Administrator will review the performance evaluation with the Department Head. The Department Head will have the opportunity to discuss the performance evaluation with the City Council at a closed City Council meeting if he/she so chooses. The City will consider each employee's performance evaluation when considering salary increases or potential promotional opportunities. As a general rule, an employee who receives an overall rating of "Needs Improvement" or "Poor" will not be eligible for promotional opportunities, salary increases, except for any "cost of living" adjustment made by the City. Further, an employee who receives an overall rating of "Needs Improvement" or "Poor" must follow a performance improvement plan to bring performance to an acceptable level. If performance is not brought to an acceptable level as described in the performance improvement plan, discipline may be imposed, up to and including termination. Conducting, or the results of, performance evaluations does not alter the at -will nature of employment. 3ti13 Resignations N1/4 Deleted: 14 J As at -will employees, all City employees may resign at any time, for any reason. In order to be considered "in good standing" at the time of resignation, an employee must file with employee's Department Head, at least 14 days before leaving, a written resignation stating the effective date of the resignation. Department Heads wishing to resign "in good standing" should give the City as much advance notice as possible, but must provide at least 30 days' notice. Failure to comply with this 14 day or 30 day notice procedure may be considered cause for denying the employee future employment by the City and denying termination benefits. Unauthorized absence from work for a period of three working days may be considered by the Department Head as a resignation "not in good standing" and without benefits. 3ti14 Lay-offs Deleted: 15 J After at least two weeks' notice to the employee, the City Administrator may lay off any employee when such action is necessary because of shortage of work or funds, the abolition of a position, or changes in organization. 16 1Page
