ISSUE STATEMENT
Jon Ruiz was hired as the Eugene City Manager on April 14, 2008. This agenda item is for the council
to conduct City Manager Ruiz’s second annual performance review. The two-part format agreed upon
by the council and City Manager Ruiz includes an executive session followed by a public session.
During the executive session, councilors will review the results of the feedback gathered, share their
overall performance feedback, and discuss any compensation adjustments. Based on the discussion, the
City Manager will submit his proposed goals for the coming year to the council.
BACKGROUND
Using a modified process this year, agreed upon by the City Council and City Manager, a couple of key
questions, framed from the agreed-upon performance dimensions, were sent to the executive leaders of
each City department and an identified group of community leaders. A summary of this feedback and
the City Manager’s self-evaluation were sent to the council in advance of this work session. City
Councilors were also asked to fill out their own dimension forms.
Human Resources has compiled all of this information to support the City Council in getting a well-
rounded view of the performance of the City Manager this year.
RELATED CITY POLICIES
The City Council has historically conducted an annual performance review of the City Manager. This
process is a continuation for City Manager Jon Ruiz.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
In consideration of the current budget situation, the City Manager recommends that his compensation
not be adjusted at this time. However, prior to Monday’s meeting, he will provide draft guidelines for
future compensation adjustments.
