AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
June 4, 2024
4.2
SUBJECT:
Annual Commission Performance Evaluation
ACTION REQUESTED:
Provide comments on new survey process and results presentation
BACKGROUND:
Per the Governance Policy G.2c Agenda Planning and consistent with the 2024 Governance
Agenda, the Commission conducts a formal evaluation of its own performance annually. The
intention of the Commission holding themselves accountable through an evaluation process is
to develop a culture of excellent governance. Following evaluation, the Commission works with
the general manager to address specific needs or gaps identified. These may include or be
related to governance, legal requirements, or specific knowledge and skills required for
decision -making related to upcoming initiatives and/or results -oriented goals.
Following the Commission's recommendation in July of 2023, the evaluation was changed from
a self -evaluation to a 360-degree review by incorporating manager input. The Commission also
felt that there would be more value in reducing the number of questions while encouraging
respondents to focus on providing detailed written comments. In order to reduce the number
of questions while addressing key topics, staff rewrote/reorganized the questions which were
adopted by the Commission at the February 14, 2024, meeting.
DISCUSSION:
The 2024 Annual Commission Performance Evaluation results are attached for review and
discussion. Staff also requests commission feedback on the new survey process and results
presentation.
