Agenda 10/10/2017 Item #11I10/10/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to Complete the Annual Performance Appraisal for the County Manager
OBJECTIVE: To complete the performance appraisal of the County Manager.
CONSIDERATIONS: The County Manager reports directly to the Board of County Commissioners.
In order to ensure that the County Manager’s work performance is coordinated with the direction of the
full Board, an annual appraisal and merit consideration are provided in the County Manager Employment
Agreement.
The annual work plan (Action Plan) was previously developed by the Board. The County Manager has
been available to meet individually with Commissioners and has provided a self-appraisal relating to the
performance standards for review.
The County Manager Employment Agreement provides that on the date general wage adjustments are
granted generally to Collier County employees, the County Manager’s base salary shall be modified to
reflect the general wage adjustment granted to other County employees. If a satisfactory performance
rating is provided by the Board of County Commissioners, merit pay shall be awarded from 3% minimum
to a 10% maximum. Per the Employment Agreement, all such merit adjustments shall be included in the
County Manager’s base salary. However, to be consistent with the adopted FY2016 budget guidance, the
County Manager voluntarily requests that no merit pay be considered.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are appropriated in the County Manager Office budget.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
item.
RECOMMENDATION: The Board of County Commissioners completes the annual performance
appraisal process for the County Manager.

awareness of the need to operate efficiently and effectively; to proactively monitor and
manage fiscal activities, including reserve levels and revenue forecasts; to actively manage
the County's debt structure and financing mechanisms; to work cooperatively with the Clerk
of Courts on internal audits and the preparation of the CAFR.
The County Manager and staff continue to work prudently and effectively to strike a balance
between funding for continued and expanded programs and operations driven by growth,
service demands and policy initiatives with the need to fund replacement capital
infrastructure and maintenance as well as new capital initiatives. Based on Board approved
budget guidance, staffproduced a FY 2017 budget that maintained the general fund and
unincorporated area general fund millage rates; increased general fund reserves; maintained a
policy compliant debt position; satisfied state unfunded mandates; enhanced front line
operating services and allocated limited resources to high priority capital improvements and
asset maintenance and replacement. Aggressive management of the debt portfolio since FY
201 0 continues to prove beneficial through reduced annual non growth related revenue bond
debt service paid by the general fund. The CounQr's implied corporate issuer credit rating was
elevated to AAA by Standard and Poor's, the highest available in the industry.
The corporate office of grants compliance continues to pay dividends with respect to
improving grant management and audit compliance. The Board received a favorable year
ending 2016 Consolidated Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and efforts continue to enhance
internal systems and processes to ensure continued favorable CAFR results.
