PUBLIC COMMENT (Public Comment is Limited to Items which are the Subject of the
Special Meeting)
Kay Nicholson,Los Altos Hills, commented that the Council should defer making decisions.
regarding City Manager's review until after public comment on the consultant's report. She
stated it was in the best interest of town to wait.
Kjell Karlsson,Los Altos Hills, said there no reason to rush. Three years ago,the City
Manager's review occurred in July. He also stated that the contract should be reviewed every
year and asked that it not be a two-year contract.
Vice Mayor Radford responded to Mr. Karlsson and Ms. Nicholson.
Ms.Nicholson said that in the organizational assessment, she would have expected to see charts
similar that were provided for employee's responses. There were no details provided.
Vice Mayor Radford asked Mr. Karlsson, "what is your major performance deficiency about
the City Manager's performance?"
Mr. Karlsson replied that the City Manager is completely lacking in any proactiveness. He is
reactive, and not proactive. He further said that the Town volunteers show proactiveness.
Councilmember Corrigan said that the process of reviewing the City Manager's performance
has been going on for 90 days; a subcommittee was formed who did a thorough review of his
performance and that she was absolutely prepared to have this discussion at this time.
The Council adjourned to closed session at 5:16 p.m. and considered the following:
