<br />Mr. Clark commented that Ms. Beamud had been very accessible to council members. He was pleased to <br />hear that Ms. Beamud met regularly with the Mayor and council officers and wanted to see her also meet <br />with the entire council. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka observed that as the council’s employee, it was important for Ms. Beamud to meet with council <br />officers. He supported the idea of regular feedback to the full council, either at meetings or in written <br />reports, on perhaps a quarterly basis. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor moved to provide an abbreviated performance evaluation consistent with the <br />April 9 options 1 and 2 and develop an ongoing comprehensive evaluation process consis- <br />tent with Option A. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman asked if Mr. Pryor would accept a friendly amendment to include Citizen Re- <br />view Board feedback. Mr. Pryor agreed. Ms. Bettman provided the second. The motion <br />passed unanimously, 7:0. <br /> <br />City Manager pro tem Jones asked if the self-evaluation was assumed to be part of the motion. Mr. Pryor <br />said it was included. <br /> <br />Regarding the idea of customer input, Ms. Bettman suggested using the Human Rights Commission (HRC) <br />to contact citizens who had used the process in order to preserve the public’s view of the independence of the <br />auditor’s office. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark suggested having CRB members or Ms. Beamud contact citizens to determine their willingness to <br />participate in a survey instead of involving another organization such as the HRC in the process. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy said the CRB would be tasked with determining how best to obtain citizen feedback. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling suggested taking up Item 8, Committee Reports and Items of Interest, from the regular meeting <br />agenda. There were no objections. <br /> <br /> <br />8. COMMITTEE REPORTS AND ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM MAYOR, CITY <br />COUNCIL, AND CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />Mr. Poling stated he attended the Eugene Police Department (EPD) promotion ceremony and awards <br />ceremony. He said both events were well attended. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka announced that the Willamette Career Fair, sponsored by the Lane Workforce Partnership, <br />would be held March 13 at the Lane Events Center. <br /> <br />Ms. Solomon and Ms. Ortiz reported they had attended a meeting of Active Bethel Citizens and were <br />impressed by the new energy of the group and pleased to see a number of City staff present. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy noted that Lorraine Kerwood, founder of Next Step Recycling, was recently recognized as one <br />of the top volunteers in the country and received a monetary award to reinvest in her organization. She <br />reported on attendance at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) dinner <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council March 10, 2008 Page 7 <br /> Work Session <br /> <br />
