3. What steps can be taken to improve the City Manager's performance? <br /> <br />I would like to see Dennis maintaining his own health and resilience; the only times I <br />have been disappointed or concerned about his performance appeared to be when he had <br />overextended & thus was unable to perform to his own expectations of excellence. <br /> <br />Division Manager 3: <br /> <br />1. In what areas does the City Manager's performance meet your expectations? <br /> <br />I think Dennis is doing a good job of working with the Council to focus Council on <br />policy-level concerns. He is clear on Council versus the Manager's roles, and <br />implements that distinction in a relatively low-key way that the Council usually accepts. <br /> <br />Dennis's values around "one-City, one voice" is refreshing, if a daunting goal. He also <br />"walks the talk" on his values around public service in general, and is a good model for <br />his expectations on how we approach the public and the Council. <br /> <br />2. In what areas does the City Manager's performance exceed your expectations? <br /> <br />I think Dennis's all-City meetings to talk about current issues, and the involvemem of <br />other staff- from the Exec's to specific program staff- is very effective. I think these <br />meetings support his "one voice" message - we get to know not only what is going on <br />around the organization, but also a chance to know other people through their actions. <br /> <br />Division Manager 4: <br /> <br />2. In what areas does the City Manager's performance exceed your expectations? <br /> <br />I think that Dennis does a great job communicating to employees both via his e-mails and <br />also via his all-city meetings. He's good in from of a crowd and good answering off-the- <br />cuff questions. Comes across as dynamic, knowledgeable, straightforward, sincere, & <br />has a good sense of humor. <br /> <br />I really applaud him for not only hOlding the all employee meetings but for getting the <br />Execs out in front of employees at the meetings and getting the Execs to work together on <br />the presentations. <br /> <br />I think that he does an excellent job of communicating his values and expectations. <br /> <br /> City Manager Evaluation 2 July 2005 <br /> Division Manager Comments <br /> <br /> <br />
