Does the Manager's guidance and leadership enhance the organization's openness and availability to the public? Comments including examples of past performance to support your appraisal: 1. There is only minor anecdotal evidence of this either way. 2. The Manager presents himself well and makes a credible impression. 3. Some yes, some no. As to//3 & #4, I don't know his schedule so I can't really evaluate those questions, but given what I know about Dennis, if he is out there in public, he's making a great impression on people! 4. I am sure there are some populations in the City that feel the Manager is someone they trust, but there are others that feel opposite. All is anecdotal. 5. I believe the answer is yes, but to what extent the CM's role is in those, I don't know. 5. There could be more open dialogue with community on critical issues. 5. There are "dialogues." I would question how balanced or informed they are. More often it is a format that minimizes interaction and frames feedback like "Informational Open Houses." 12
