Commissioner Farr moved to remove from table, consideration'of a salary policy for
department heads. Seconded by Commissioner Yancey and carried. After discussion, Commission-
er Fart moved to adopt a salary policy for department heads, as recommended by the City
Manager as follows:
1. The City of Sanford abandon the present salary review policy for depart-
ment heads and create a new policy, a schedule, and an evaluation process
similar to that provided our other city employees.
2. That the six department heads be reviewed and evaluated by the city
manager, not the City Commission; since an evaluation requires a detailed
knowledge of each department heads daily work and performance. Further,
that all department head evaluation reviews and counseling be done by
the city manager privately and not by the Commission at a public forum.
3. That each department head will be subject to the pay schedule rules
governing all employees with an anniversary date set as the day of
appointment as a department head.
4. That a new pay schedule be adopted as "Schedule I - Administrative/
Department Heads" with six pay steps in each of four salary ranges.
