1.6 Governance Process, Citizen Advisory Boards
The Council values the expression of citizen viewpoints on topics of concern to the Council.
Therefore,the Council will continue the tradition of seeking input from volunteer citizen
advisory boards and committees, although final responsibility for decisions, and the
implementation that follows, rests entirely with the Council. The Council reminds staff that the
ideal purpose of citizen involvement is ^^**^ �a••���� °*���^^^�'�°, "��+to seek objective
opinions from a diverse range of citizens.
Amended Governance Policv 2.2(2),Council-Staff Linka�e, Dele�ation to the Citv Mana�er;
2Z Council-Staff Linkage, Delegation to the City Manager
All Council authority delegated to staff is delegated through the City Manager, so that all
authority and accountability of staff-- as far as the Council is concerned -- is considered to be
the authority and accountability of the City Manager.
2. As long as the City Manager uses anv reasonable
interpretation any reasonable interpretation of the Council's Ends and Executive Limitations
policies,the City Manager is authorized to establish all further policies, make all decisions,take
all actions, establish all practices, and develop al!activities.

2.3 Council-Staff Linkage, Monitoring Executive Performance.
Monitoring executive performance is synonymous with monitoring organizational performance
against Council policies on Ends and on Executive Limitations. Any evaluation of the City
Manager's performance, formal or informal,�shall be measured a�ainst
these expectations. This policy places the burden of ineasuring r�±�==;
performance on two ' primarv considerations:well-defined Ends and Executive
Limitation policies, and reasonably accurate measurements. Without well-defined policies and
^„�^+^ ^^^,����^^^^„*° reasonablv accurate performance metrics,the�e►�effectiveness of
monitoring performance is�compromised. T"^ ��„„^�' �^^^^^��^c+�e ., ,,,�+„ :.,�..�,+o��

formal evaluation of the City Manager. This evaluation will consider only monitoring data as
defined here, as it has appeared over the intervening year.
