Evaluations, Third Draft.pdf
Council,
Attached are the draft evaluation procedures and forms, as updated from the 1/31/2017 work
session. I incorporated Council Member Altermatt’s addition of measurable goals, and hope it
makes sense the way I have done this.
I have some additional comments highlighted in yellow. Also, there was an element in the process
that I wanted the attorney to weigh in on, and our discussion is also attached for your
consideration.
Please review this information. If you think it’s appropriate, you can bring this matter up at the
meeting Monday, and give direction if you think another work session is needed or if these forms
and process are ready to come forwardfor adoption.
I think this needs a little more work, personally. Some of my concerns are:
1.Defining a more clear timeline of events for submission of self and council evaluations.
2.Council not viewing self-evaluations prior to completing their individual evaluations, and
potentially not knowing how the employee felt they may or may not have met the
established measurable goals for the prior year.
3.If it is allowable/appropriate to re-distribute the individual and self-evaluations at the
executive session for discussion and those documents still remain confidential (see attached
email between Will and myself). Or if the evaluation is made public by the employee, if all
documents are public or not. Will is saying possibly not, right now your procedures form
indicates they will be. Might be a longer discussion.
4.If the scoring of the measurable goals is conveyed to council’s liking.
I hate to belabor the issue BUT I think it’s important to get this process clarified and everyone under
the same understanding. It was not clear before, and has been problematic because we have
interpreted things differently. I’d like to take the time and make sure we all understand this process
to avoid future issues. I think it’s worth taking the time on and hope you do, too. I encourage Jim
and Will to provide any suggestions as well.
Reminder I am out of the office tomorrow.

Yes. But I would add that the process of tabulation and destruction of individual evaluations is not
unique. It is done in a number of communities across the nation, but I have not found any evidence
of this process being tested in the courts.

Will, I have an agenda item on 3/28 for council to schedule another work session to finalize the
evaluation procedures. I was going to put the current draft in the packet. Do you have any
objection to me putting this below email in as well? I’m including an email I have written to the
council that references this below email, so just wanted to include it all, but wanted to make sure
that was acceptable to you first.
Let me know,

Good questions.
3
As to reaching out, executive employees should be aware of their rights. I would not worry about it.
If council were to go into executive session in regard to a particular lower level employee, (I can’t
think offhand of how that would happen,) then notice of theright should be given.
As to the individual evaluations, we are in a grey area. I would treat them as personal notes
therefore not public record. It is the tabulation that is shared and considered. Any attachments
from another source, (letter from public or employee regarding the officer) if discussed or shared,
would be a public record, unless otherwise protected. The idea of executive session is to allow for
the free exchange of ideas on sensitive issues. Council members may read their own words and it is
not part of the “record” unless shared in written form.
Even if used in a public hearing, the personal notes (individual evaluations) can be used and not be
public record. What is spoken would be the record. Again this is a grey area. But the idea is the
tabulation is the information to the employee (officer) and the public of the basis for the evaluation.
Providing the tabulation to the Council as a whole for discussion assures the accuracyof the
tabulation. The return and destruction of the individual evaluations assures the anonymity of
Council members, if wanted. (A council member can always take credit for their own comments and
observations in the executive or public session.)
This process could be tested in the courts. I believe it will hold up and I don’t have another
suggestion to preserve council member anonymity.

Hi Will,
I am getting ready to send to council the third draft with the recent changes implemented. The idea
is for them to review this over the weekend and they can tell me Monday if this procedure is ready
to come forward for adoption, or if another work session is needed. So I will send your emailwith
those documents, too.
I’mreading through this and understand it mostly, but need a little more clarification – at this point,
council has stated they intend to complete individual evaluations, submit them to the members
appointed to tally, and then during the executive session, each individualmember gets their
evaluation back to run through it with the employee. I’m trying to figure out if, based on what you
said, that will work.
Also, I’m concerned that concept will NOT work if the employee decides to make their evaluation
public and those individual forms are disseminated back to the council member. If those forms are
utilized in a public evaluation – wouldn’t those forms be considered a public record?
4
Prior to these three evaluations, should I be reaching out to the employee, informing them that they
have the right to make this evaluation public? I haven’t been doing that, but wonderif that should
be a matter of practice moving forward…..thoughts?

Subject: RE: evaluation procedures
Jo, please share with Council. Destroying the notes and individual preparation materials can be done
by a Council member, there is no requirement that it be done bythe Clerk. Is I understand the
intent, evaluations by individual Council members will be tabulated and then destroyed; in theory,
the individual evaluations never become public records. To the extent there is a “public interest” in
preserving them, we have preserved their contents in a tabulation. Under the Public Records Act,
these evaluations are not public records. However the courts have stated that materials used in
executive appointments can be public, and have provided a balancing test between the privacy
rights of the individual and the public right to know. In this case, although it has not been tested in
court, I believe the public’s rights are protected by the tabulation without interfering with the frank
exchange of opinions, among other reasons to destroy the individual evaluations. The Public
Records Act does not provide a “black line” as to when records may be destroyed. Generally
speaking a records retention policy must be followed, (in this case the policy is to destroy the
records immediately after tabulation,). I would also add, that not sharing the individual evaluations
with the whole Council is important. The idea of an executive session is the free discussion of ideas;
thus the spoken word is always protected, but materials relied upon are not protected unless subject
to another exception. In this case the Council “as a body” will only see the tabulation. Council
members relying on their own notes do not make those notes something considered by the body.
The Alaska Open meetings Act requires a public discussion if requested by the employee: “subjects
that tend to prejudice the reputation and character of any person, provided the person may request
a public discussion;” Alaska Stat. Ann. § 44.62.310(c)(2)(emphasis added) ; see also Univ. of Alaska v.
Geistauts, 666 P.2d 424, 429 (Alaska 1983). The individual Council member evaluations are not part
of the “public discussion” and thus should not be shown to the evaluatee or anyone else but the
tabulators. The tabulations would be public if requested by the evaluatee.

Council destroying is not a problem as long as there is a process. This is fine. I need to think
on the other part. Code allows for an open meeting at employee request. There may be more to
it.

Hi Will,
Council met Tuesday and gave the evaluation procedures and forms more review. There was
one change that I wanted to ask your legal opinion on. In the attached draft procedures
document, they wanted to make changes to section three, which I’ve pasted below.
3.ACCESS TO EVALUATION DOCUMENTS
Information concerning the performance of an individual being evaluated under these
procedures is not a public record except as described in section 5 (b) (6) and is not subject to
6
disclosure under AS 40.25.However, the individual who is the subject of the evaluation is
entitled to a copy of the information and may waive the confidentiality provisions of this
section concerning the information.
5(b)
<image001.png>
So I just want to make sure that’s an appropriate change– or are we violating anyone’s rights
bynot allowing them to keep a copy of the private, to-be-destroyed evaluation forms?
Also, any concern with council members destroying documents? Or should that be the role of
the records manager, or does it matter? Entire procedures document attached, with track
changes shown.
Thanks,
