TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR MONTEREY COUNTY
Memorandum
To: 

Executive Committee

From:

Rita Goel, Director of Finance & Administration

Meeting Date:

June 2, 2021

Subject:

Evaluation of Executive Director & Counsel


RECOMMENDED ACTION:
RECOMMEND that the Board of Directors APPROVE delaying the annual evaluation for the Agency Executive Director and Counsel to 2022 from June 2021.
SUMMARY:
The Transportation Agency bylaws require an annual evaluation of the Executive Director and Counsel. However, since Executive Director Hale will be retiring this year, it is recommended that the evaluation not be done in 2021. TAMC Counsel Katherine Hansen was recently appointed to this position and there has not been sufficient time to evaluate her performance.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
DISCUSSION:
The Agency bylaws require an annual evaluation of the Executive Director and Counsel. Executive Director Hale’s employment agreement also states that the TAMC Board shall evaluate her by the December Board meeting of each year and Hale shall prepare goals and accomplishments for review by the TAMC Board.

However, since Executive Director Hale will be retiring soon, it is recommended that the evaluation not be done in 2021. TAMC Counsel Katherine Hansen was recently appointed to this position and there has not been sufficient time to evaluate her performance. Staff recommends that the annual evaluations for both be delayed to 2022. (The evaluation process normally starts in June.). Meanwhile, any performance issues can be raised with the Chair at any time.
