PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
The Open Meeting Law requires a public body to summarize its conclusions regarding a closed performance evaluation at an open meeting.
SUMMARY
The Open Meeting Law, Minn. Stat. § 13D.05, subd. 3(a), permits a public body to close a meeting to evaluate the performance of an individual subject to its authority. On November 29, 2022, the Dakota County Board of Commissioners held a closed executive session to evaluate the performance of the County Manager.
The Manager’s rating was based 50 percent on the four Priority elements (Internal, Stakeholder, Financial, and Learning and Growth Perspectives); and 50 percent on the ten established Manager core competencies.
Strategic Agility; Handling Conflict & Difficult Situations;
Communicating Vision & Purpose; Organizational Expertise;
Analytical Thinking & Planning; Working with Others & Teams;
Decision Making; Honest & Integrity; and
Listening-Communications Skills; Impact on Results.
On the scale of highest to lowest ratings - Exceptional Performance, Greatly Exceeds Performance Standards, Exceeds Performance Standards, Meets Performance Standards, and Below Performance Standards - the County Manager received an Exceeds Performance Standards rating. A rating of Exceeds Performance Standards is to recognize a pro-active performer. Results of assigned responsibilities meet and frequently exceed baseline expectations.
