FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Councilmember Bilyeu stated he believes the Council is left with two courses of action moving
forward. If we want to keep our current city manager, we need to provide him clear guidance
with goals, objectives, and, most importantly, the standard at which he is going to be evaluated
by every member on this council. Unfortunately, I think the message we sent with our actions
was that we did not want to keep him, and if that is the wishes of the Council, then the course
of action number two is that we discuss his termination without cause.
Councilmember Bilyeu then requested an Executive Session at the earliest possible convenience
but no later than the next scheduled city council meeting, with the subject being personnel
review of the City Manager, and we discuss one or both of those courses of action during that
meeting. I think that his accomplishment has earned him that professional courtesy at a
minimum, and I think we owe it to Staff to give clear direction on how the council will move
forward.
