Hahn and Soli, and Ms. Kearns Commissioners Ms. O'Neill Staff: Mr. Cameron Review of the General Manager's Performance of Last Year Mr. Hahn opened the meeting by asking the Committee if they could take up Item 2 on the agenda "Review of the General Manager's Performance of Last Year." The committee members concurred. Ms. Kearns went over the performance items in the General Manager's Performance Items for 2008 - 2009 and asked Mr. Cameron questions about his response to several items. Mr. Soli questioned why Mr. Cameron should receive any credit for Item 5D. Mr. Cameron argued that he omitted the Graph and milestones for the Gaw Project as part of the Capital and Operating Budget Update; however, it wasn't fair to get no credit for that item. Mr. Cameron explained that the Gaw Station Upgrade is only one part of a large capital and operating budget, which was explained at the meeting. Mr. Hahn concurred with Mr. Cameron's point that he believed Mr. Cameron should not lose credit for Item 5D. Ms. Kearns also concurred with this point. It was the sense of the Committee that a rating of two be given for Item 5D. Mr. Soli pointed out that in the future he needs more information on the Gaw Sub Station Upgrade project. Discussion followed. Mr. Soli made a motion seconded by Ms. Kearns that a score of 142.38 out of 151 or 94.3% would yield a pay raise of 4%, but considering the financial times, the General Manager Committee recommends the General Manager receive a raise of 3%. Motion carried 3:0:0 Review of the General Manager's Evaluation Form Ms. Kearns then presented the most recent General Manager's Evaluation Form. Ms. Kearns said that she and Ms. O'Neill had spent all day this past Saturday working on the new form and hoped that it would be useful in evaluating the General Manager in the future. Ms. Kearns said that the form includes seven different criteria for evaluation along with weightings for each of the criteria as follows; Finance - 20%, Energy Efficiency and Load Management - 20%, System Reliability - 20%, Leadership - 10%, Board Relations - 10%, Employee Relations - 10%, and Community Relations -10%. Ms. Kearns then went on to explain the contents of each of the criteria in detail. Discussion followed. Mr. Hahn suggested that the Committee and Mr. Cameron look over this form. Mr. Hahn would like to have Mr. Cameron get his comments back to the committee as soon as possible. Ms. Kearns asked Mr. Cameron if it was possible for him to start following this form until this or some other form is brought to the Board for approval.
