History
Frank Boyles was appointed as the City Manager of Prior Lake in March 1.
1993. The City Manager is an at-will employee appointed by the City
Council. The terms of employment for the City Manager are set out in an
employment agreement, which is approved annually by the City Council in
conjunction with the performance evaluation.
The specific contents of the performance evaluation are considered private
under M.S.13.43 of the Minnesota Data Practices law.
Current Circumstances
Councilors McGuire and Thompson serve as the appointed members to
the City Manager Evaluation subcommittee. This subcommittee
recommends the annual evaluation process, conducts the oral review, and
makes recommendations regarding salary and the employment agreement.
The evaluation process consists of a written assessment on various
performance dimensions by each City Council Member and each
department head. A written self-assessment is submitted by the City
Manager as well. A discussion about the prior year’s performance will be
held during the executive session with the City Council and City Manager.
2
ISSUES:
Conclusion
Any changes to the employment agreement will be considered during this
time. The City Council will reconvene upon the conclusion of the executive
session to provide a brief overview of the evaluation, salary and
employment agreement recommendation and to take formal action.
The central issue for this agenda item is whether, in the opinion of the City
Council, the City Manager is adequately performing his responsibilities to
the Council’s satisfaction, recognizing that he is an at-will employee.
