(5) REPORTS OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR, GENERAL MANAGER AND
GENERAL COUNSEL
(a) There was no report by the Committee Chairman.
(b) The General Manager reported that staff will be making a presentation on
the spill in Newport Beach at tonight's Board meeting. He said that
personnel actions will be taken but that will not be appropriate for public
discussion.
He also asked that the Steering Committee consider a request from IRWD
that was received after the agenda was prepared. It was moved,
seconded and passed to consider the additional item. IRWD has
requested that the Districts support their Wetlands Water Supply Project
when it is considered by the Regional Water Quality Control Board on
March 8, 1996. After discussion, it was decided that no formal action
would be taken.
The General Manager also informed the Committee on an opinion of
General Counsel regarding conflict of interest as a result of the husband of
the General Managers executive assistant working for a consultant who
works for the Districts. Because she is not in a position to influence or
make decisions, General Counsel concluded there is no conflict.
(c) There was no report by Counsel.
(6) DISCUSSION ITEMS
(a) Consideration of May 4. 1996 as the next Directors' Strategic Planning
Workshop on Water Reclamation and Conservation
It was agreed that Saturday, May 4, 1996 will be the next Directors'
Workshop to discuss water reclamation and conservation. The decisions
made will impact the Districts' future capital requirements. The consultants
will be available and help with the presentations. The use of a facilitator is
being considered to encourage interaction. The General Manager said
that water reclamation is vital to the southland, but he doesn't want the
Districts to get ahead of the efforts of the Water District. Bill Mills will be
attending the work shop to help make the presentation on their reclamation
study.

Chair Cox gave a heads-up on the possibility of IRWD sending their winter
flows directly to OCWD. This issue and the impacts will be considered by
our consultants.
(b) Election of Special District LAFCO Representative.
The Committee chose not to submit a nomination at this time. The
Committee secretary will advise I.AFCO tomorrow.
(c) Review scheduled agenda items for Committee action in March.
The list of action items being presented to the Committees in March was
reviewed. Director Swan indicated that he would like the OMTS
Committee to come up with an action plan to reduce costs of operating the
plants. The General Manager indicated that there is a consultant currently
working on this issue and the report will be presented to the committees.
Director Collins mentioned that discussion of a very large change order on
the Pacific Coast Highway project, Contract No. 5-37-3, will be added to
the PDC Committee agenda.
Judy Wilson said that the discussion of in-house legal services will be
moved to April. Chair Cox said that the report can be faxed to the
interested individuals but that the matter will be considered by the FAHR
Committee.
In order to allow adequate time for discussion in Closed Session, the remaining items
were discussed as follows:
(8) OTHER BUSINESS
Judy Wilson submitted a request by the Employees Activities Committee that the
Committee consider funding $3000 to help defray the costs of the picnic and the
Christmas party so that the employees do not have to spend time with fund
raising activities. The general consensus of the Committee was that the General
Manager could provide up to $3000 to assist with these activities. Any
expenditures over$3000 would require additional review.

(5) REPORTS OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR. GENERAL MANAGER AND
GENERAL COUNSEL
(a) There was no report by the Committee Chairman.
(b) The General Manager reported on his participation in professional outside
interests. He is currently active on two committees, which are helping him
understand the politics and players in the County. He is not representing
the Districts but rather himself. Director Swan expressed some concern
because the Restructuring Committee (a subcommittee of the Orange
County Division of the League of California Cities) does not have any
elected officials as members. Mr. McIntyre said that the group is more of a
"think tank" and will be making recommendations only and sharing ideas.
He will keep the Directors informed.
The Districts' response to Assemblyman Pringle's proposed Special
Districts Consolidation bill. The Committee advised staff to make personal
contact with Mr. Pringle here in Orange County, if possible, or his aides.
Chair Cox said that this issue was discussed at CASA last week, and the
CASA lobbyist said that he is unclear where Mr. Pringle is coming from.
Judy Wilson indicated that this bill may be the result of LAFCO's taking so
long to act on the Garden Grove Sanitary District dissolution, any may
have been suggested by the mayor of Garden Grove.
(c) There was no report by Counsel.
(6) DISCUSSION ITEMS
(a) Update on the status of the Consolidation Effort
Judy Wilson reported on the activities since the last meeting. The draft
feasibility plan was received just this afternoon and she hasn't had a
chance to review it in too much detail. Basically, the consultant is
suggesting proceeding to form one district that incorporates all nine
districts. One important thing to consider is the real estate investment
(about $15 million) by District 14. This sum could be credited against the
reserves that IRWD needs to provide the Districts.
Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting

Zones would have to be established to address the issue of different
connection fees_ These fees are going to be addressed in the strategic
plan. Eventually they would be equalized over time, depending on the
capital requirements specified in the Strategic Plan, and then the zones
can be eliminated and user fees established
The report does not recommend annexing any areas that could be
annexed. This areas will be identified in the LAFCO application and
LAFCO may stipulate that this be done.
The $60,000 in general obligation debt must be addressed.
Director Swan indicated that the more he hears, the more uncomfortable
he is becoming about the terms.
General Counsel indicated that depending on what section of the state
code new district is created under would determine whether IRWD would
have a seat on the Board. Director Swan said that he needs to make sure
that all the electeds know the consequences.
The Pringle bill would certainly have an impact, and Assemblyman Pringle
has indicated that the County Sanitation Districts are part of the picture.
Chair Cox indicated that consolidation is the smartest thing to do and that
it would allow fixing the organization. The issue will not go forward without
everyone understanding the issues and ramifications.
Director Swan said that he wanted to see the proposal address Districts 13
and 14 specifically.
Judy will be working with the consultant to finalize the report, including
estimating capital needs. She will also be meeting with IRWD staff to go
through the report's findings and to get their feed back.
Director Swan indicated that if the terms and conditions are right, then he
would have no problem with consolidating.
Chair Cox said that this issue must be treated as a business decision.
Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting
Page 4
January 24, 1996
The final report will be presented to the Executive Committee at the
February meeting. Any recommendations will be presented to the full
Boards for approval.
(b) Discussion of Excess Capacity Charge
Nancy Wheatley discussed the Staff Report on the Excess Capacity
Charge. There are several issues that need to be clarified. First, the
Excess Capacity Charge, which was repealed, would have charged
businesses that significantly increase their discharges over their permitted
limits, as well as new large dischargers coming into the County. When the
new ordinance was rescinded, it removed the new business charge and
the provision to charge for major increases by existing companies. This
has created an inequity between new and existing businesses since under
the old ordinance there is no provision to charge for major increases. Staff
is requesting approval of a one-year moratorium until a new fee can be
developed as part of the Strategic Plan. Any applicants who submit permit
applications for either a new connection, or an increase in discharge limits,
will be advised that the moratorium is in effect and when the fees are
determined, they will be required to pay them. If the new charge is higher
than the Excess Capacity Charge (the repealed version)when the fee is
finally established, they would be able to pay that fee rather than the new
fee. If the charge is lower, the business would be assessed as
implemented.
The new Strategic Plan will address the issue of which businesses should
pay how much for capital charges. The capital charge will apply to
businesses that increase their discharge over 50,000 gallons per day, but
until then, applicants will be advised that if a firm increases flow, they will
not be charged during the moratorium, but will be required to pay when the
charge is developed.
Director Collins felt that this was the fairest way to handle this issue at this
time.
Chair Cox said that this issue needs to be looked at more
comprehensively, not unlike the SCAQMD did with their business
assistance council. We have to let the business community know what we
are doing to change our operating procedures to reduce costs, and we
need to begin thinking more competitively.
Minutes of the Steering Committee Meeting

January 24, 1996
A Newport Beach developer has asked for a waiver of fees for a planned
seniors facility. After discussion, staff was directed to advise the applicant
that an appeal may be requested from the District 5 directors.
The General Manager indicated that it would be advisable for the cities
planning and development staff to attend the Strategic Planning sessions
so that they are aware of the things being considered and the reasons
behind them.
Staff was authorized to present to the working Committees and the Boards
the recommendation of a moratorium until the new fees are in place. No
firm will pay an excess capacity charge at this time, though they will be
informed that there will be one eventually and they will be required to pay
at that time. The square footage charge will continue, as will the single-
family residence fee. Any firm in the permit application cycle will be asked
to sign an agreement of understanding.
(c) Update on Landfill Acquisition Issues
Don McIntyre and Blake Anderson have met or will be meeting with all five
of the County supervisors to go over our proposal. They also met with Jan
Mittermeier. Supervisor Saltarelli and Ms. Mittermeier believe that the
County should maximize the value of the system. Supervisor Steiner
appears to understand the political realities and what the cities think about
the proposal. Everyone seems to understand the need to get all the cities
involved.
The big issue is the value of the system. On Monday, IWMD staff advised
the Districts that they would not be providing the E&Y evaluation numbers
as previously indicated. Ms. Mittermeier stated that the $15 million for 20
years was the floor and they would be working from that.
Staff met with Price Waterhouse today, and depending on the assumptions
used the value went from a minus $30 million to plus $200 million.
If the 75-day period comes and there is no agreement, the County has
indicated that they may remove the exclusive negotiating rights and start
discussions with others. The General Manager stated that Supervisor
Saltarelli indicated he does not think selling the landfills to a private
contractor makes sense but privatizing could helpmake the tipping fees go

down. Some of his numbers do not agree with our findings. He also
mentioned that the County may want to contract with the Districts to run
the system.
Director Collins asked that a printout of the various scenarios be available.
Blake indicated that they will be ready at next week's Ad Hoc Committee
meeting.
The County is working towards a resolution to meet the June deadline.
d) General Manager Performance Evaluation
The General Manager asked if there were any questions on his
performance evaluation package. This will be reviewed at the February
meeting in closed session. Director McGuigan stated that the goals
package was very well done. That section, according to the General
Manager, was prepared to show where we were a month ago. The
General Manager also mentioned that one weakness of his is over-
committing staff. Director Swan asked whether Blake would be able to
handle the new Watershed Committee activities in light of his current
assignments. Blake indicated that the landfill issue and the bankruptcy
are very close to being settled which should allow him more time. Other
things that staff are working on are the Executive Management retreat Feb.
1 and 2 to start the '96-97 budget preparation process; the Strategic Plan
workshop on Saturday, Jan. 27; the Grand Jury visit January 30; and a
presentation to the Business Council that same day.
e) Review of Working Committees Pre-agenda Items
There are only five items to be considered by the OMTS and/or the PDC
Committee in February. Staff will preview them with the Committee Chairs
separately. Next month the listings will be submitted to the Steering
Committee.
(7) CLOSED SESSION

Midway City Sanitary District
Re: Nomination for Special District Representative on LA.F.C.O.
The Board of Directors of the Midway City Sanitary District takes great pleasure in
nominating Director James V. 'Jim" Evans to the office of Special District Representative
on LAFCO.
Director Evans has served our District well since 1981. He has brought to the Board
many innovative ideas that have enhanced the financial position of the District as well as
the spirit and morale of the District employees.
Jim has also worked very hard over the past ten or more years with I.S.D.O.C., especially
in the area of getting Independent Special Districts appointed to LAFCO. This included
working on the State level attempting to get legislation passed, and at the local level filing
resolutions three times petitioning LAFCO to admit Independent Special Districts to the
Commission.
Jim has dedicated many years of service to ISDOC, including serving as President for a
total of five years, and has told us his only reason for wanting to be elected to LAFCO
is to make sure that the Independent Special Districts are treated fairly. We invite you
to review Jim's background data attached.
We urge your support for James V. "Jim" Evans! if you wish to talk to Jim, call 714
897-2904.
Sincerely,
MIDWAY CITY SANITARY DISTRICT

Orange County Special Districts' Presidents
RE: Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission
It's that time - time for the election of a Special District LAFCO member.
I heard from a few districts that the letter of notice of the upcoming election had been
mistakenly interpreted by some to indicate that I was stepping down from the group.
Perhaps I am, but hopefully not until AFTER the election.
I am a candidate, and my District will nominate me. As you may know, I was awarded the
two-year term at the time we were successful in obtaining the Special Districts' seats on
LAFCO.
I have served on LAFCO for the past two years, and, if you are not familiar with my
record, I urge you to talk to your neighboring Districts, or give me a call at (714) 891.3071.

CHANGING THE CORPORATE CULTURE
Arguably, everything done in and by an organization has a bearing on, and is an
expression of, its culture. It is abundantly clear to me that I was hired to help bring
about major change to the culture of this organization. Whether it was required by the
Board or not, it would have been a personal objective to do that, since my management
style would dictate implementing many of the changes currently underway.
It seems to me that the last four of the eight"critical goals" address, most directly,
change to the culture. These are: consolidation; communications, training and
management performance.
CONSOLIDATION
While consolidation is viewed primarily as a governance issue, to the extent that it
simplifies the operation and streamlines the administration, it contributes to culture
change.
COMMUNICATIONS
The initiation of the Board Letter, I believe, has contributed to the Board members
feeling better informed in all aspects of the organization. The user-friendly budget and
graphics used to identify capital improvement projects also helps establish and maintain
improved communications between policy makers and staff.
And the work now being done to improve staff presentations to the Boards and
committees responds to a clear need in this organization.
The workshop scheduled to help the Boards members be more a part of the policy
development process in the Strategic Plan will contribute immeasurably to the quality of
the public policy resulting from that effort.
Internally, improved communications is resulting from such things as: installation of 20
bulletin boards in all parts of the organization; the display of our updated mission
statement at both plant entrances and displayed in the Board Room and in conference
rooms helps to get out the message of change. We believe the recently inaugurated
Communications survey and the creation of a communications action team will pay
important dividends as employees begin to feel more a part of the team.
TRAINING
Perhaps the most high-profile element of our culture change efforts is the approval by
the Boards of a major increase in the training budget. This affords the opportunity to
make training a requirement, rather than a benefit. It affords the opportunity to
aggressively cross train employees to help them achieve more and to create a working
environment of generalists with broad-based skills replacing many of the specialists
whose skills, in some cases, are replaced by computerization.
In order to maximize the impact of training dollars, we have centralized and professional
training, and have involved people from every part of the organization to serve as
members of a Training Advisory Committee.
Much needed supervisory and management training programs are being developed to
improve the standard of supervision, as well as a variety of courses addressing skills
and safety needs of the organization. A tuition assistance program is now in place
which will be an important supplement to our in-house training efforts.
We are also making training a part of each employee's annual performance review to
ensure that they are being counseled, both by their supervisors and by the training staff,
as to their individual training needs. Their progress through an approved curriculum will
become a part of their record.
A Core Values Committee has begun work on a challenging and self-defined agenda. I
think it's worth sharing here. The ten categories of core value issues identified are:
1. Commitment to core values and an ethical compass owned by all.
2. More trust and confidence (no hidden agendas, no retaliation).
3. More PRIDE awards, recognition, positive enforcement, higher morale.
4. Everyone feels cared for.
5. Improved team work, unity of purpose, synergy, reduce 'us-them".
6. More open communication; fewer barricades; more means to listen;
feedback.
7. People feel more comfortable about change.
8. More involvement; less hierarchy.
9. Utilization of everyone's talents, skills, intellect, education, experience.
10. Compensation system more commensurate with a person's contribution to
the organization.
The work of a performance evaluation committee is just now emerging. As you know,
this program has not been effective—indeed, it has been counter-productive, and it is
essential that the comprehensive recommendations coming from this group be carefully
considered if we are to have a program that creates incentives for greater productivity
and improved performance-
2
`/
MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE
Performance measurement and benchmarking is at the heart of the culture change.
Creation of a formal work plan based upon benchmarking data should drive the budget;
and performance measurements must be used to evaluate the individual performance
of our managers.
This, then, is a brief overview of the individual, but related, efforts that will move this
organization toward a more open, collegial, bottom-line sensitive organization.

SUBJECT: Executive Management Salaries - Benchmarking with Public Agencies and
the Private Sector
At the October 25 Steering Committee meeting, the staff was requested to prepare a
benchmarking study of Executive Management salaries looking at both the public and
private sectors.
Attached is a copy of this analysis. The following agencies and private sector surveys
were used:
- Orange County Water District
- Orange County League of California Cities
- County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County
- Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority
- Orange County Transportation Authority
- Orange County Private/Public Compensation Survey
- The Employees Group 1995 Executive Salary Survey
As you will see, in most instances the Orange County Sanitation Districts' pay rates are
well below the market average. Only the Finance Director position is close to the
market average, and in that instance it is still 2.8% below the market average. For
positions that are somewhat specific to wastewater treatment, i.e. Director of Technical
Services, Director of Operations, and Director of Engineering, there were no appropriate
private sector comparisons to compare against in this region. Therefore, only public
agencies were used.

We have also compiled a schedule showing the Sanitation Districts' relative position in
comparison with public agencies only.
In comparing only to the public agencies, the Districts' pay is still below market, with the
Assistant General Managers' salaries being the closest to market at 1% below.

SUBJECT: Executive Management Salaries - Benchmarking with Public Agencies and
the Private Sector
At the October 25 Steering Committee meeting, the staff was requested to prepare a
benchmarking study of Executive Management salaries looking at both the public and
private sectors.
Attached is a copy of this analysis. The following agencies and private sector surveys
were used:
- Orange County Water District
- Orange County League of California Cities
- County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County
- Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority
- Orange County Transportation Authority
- Orange County Private/Public Compensation Survey
- The Employees Group 1995 Executive Salary Survey
As you will see, in most instances the Orange County Sanitation Districts' pay rates are
well below the market average. Only the Finance Director position is close to the
market average, and in that instance it is still 2.8% below the market average. For
positions that are somewhat specific to wastewater treatment, i.e. Director of Technical
Services, Director of Operations, and Director of Engineering, there were no appropriate
private sector comparisons to compare against in this region. Therefore, only public
agencies were used.

We have also compiled a schedule showing the Sanitation Districts' relative position in
comparison with public agencies only.
In comparing only to the public agencies, the Districts' pay is still below market, with the
Assistant General Managers' salaries being the closest to market at 1% below.

AGENDAFOR
OCTOBER 25, 1995
Agenda Item (7): Review of 1995-96 Goal Statements for General
Manager, Administrative and Operations
Departments
Summary
As discussed at the meeting of the Steering Committee last month, we are now
providing the recommended Goal Statements for the organization, as well as a
Suggested Goals Statement for the General Manager.
It seems appropriate that the Steering Committee adopt these goals and that you give
us direction as to how to present these to the full Boards, if indeed you feel that is
required.
In the future, it would be my expectation that the goal statements supported by a work
plan would be presented to the full Boards as a part of the budget process, and that that
document would become the basis for each department head's evaluation, the
evaluations of the Assistant General Managers, and of the General Manager as well.
As you can see, considerable thought has been given to the preparation of these goal
statements and I hope that you will take time to review them carefully and critically.
The question was raised last month about how the General Manager's goals are
integrated with the work plans of the balance of the organization, and at the meeting we
will provide some graphics which we hope will illustrate how that is being done.
Staff Recommendation
That the Steering Committee adopt the goal statements and provide direction on
presentation to the full Boards.
J:\W PDOC\GMWR-COMMWM2595.7
SUGGESTED GOALS FOR GENERAL MANAGER
Administration
• Create formal work plan system with measurable goals and milestones and be to the FY'97 budget
and performance evaluation system by the Fourth Quarter.
• Improve Management Evaluation System and train managers in performance evaluation by the Fourth
Quarter.
• Complete work on IRWD capacity purchase agreement by the Second Quarter and submit
documentation required by LAFCO by the Third Quarter to proceed with Consolidation of the Districts.
• Implement centrally-managed comprehensive training program for Districts'employees by the Second
Quarter.
• Expedite the revision of the 20-20 Plan. Meet with Board members for special Saturday workshops
once a quarter to address major policy issues.
• Begin implementation of the new Financial Information System by the Fourth Quarter.
• Establish a comprehensive Communications Program.
Operations
• Complete a five-year staffing projection for use in the space utilization study and for developing a
strategic plan for transitioning the Districts Into an automated and cost-competitive organization white
avoiding layoffs through retraining and anticipated attrition.
• Proactively re-engage EPA and California Regional Water Quality Control Board in the renewal of the
Districts'Ocean Discharge Permit and achieve substantive progress in achieving the renewal.
Consult with all appropriate stakeholders in the process.
• Continue and achieve substantive progress on feasibility studies for providing up to 100 MGD of
secondary effluent to the Orange County Water District for reclamation purposes. Consider alternative
of diverting existing secondary effluent from ocean discharge to reclamation purposes.
• Achieve substantive progress on the analysis of peak flow management techniques for the purpose of
delaying the need for new capital facilities including a second ocean outfall.
• Complete solid waste management system study and,if appropriate,achieve substantive progress
toward acquisition.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of the Steering Committee
FROM: Donald F. McIntyre
General Manager
SUBJECT: General Manager Evaluation
Section 3 of my contract of employment reads: "The Boards shall meet with the
General Manager approximately March 1, 1996 to review his performance over the prior
year, and may increase the compensation paid to General Manager, to be effective
March 1, 1996. The Boards may also meet with General Manager at any other time for
purposes of reviewing his performance." In order to make this contract provision
consistent with the Management Performance Review Program, the Steering
Committee needs to establish a work plan, or set of objectives, that we may agree upon
which spells out specific accomplishments to be identified as the basis for evaluating my
performance.
I am enclosing a copy of the Management Performance Review Program form currently
in use, and bring to your attention, specifically, Section III at the top of page 8 of the
form. Additionally, I am providing you with some ideas that may help you in making a
determination of what might be considered in establishing a work plan. In this
connection, I am referring to some information that was a part of the Executive Retreat,
which I believe may be helpful.
First, I am providing you with what I identified as my"personal agenda"for the agency
which each of us presented at the retreat.
1. Develop public policy process involving the Board in updating the 2020 Plan.
2. Plan for changing our culture into more collegial management style.
3. Training.
4. Benchmarking.
5. Revisiting the Mission Statement.
6. Need to leave retreat with some action planning as the basis for evaluation of
management at the end of the year.

In discussing my role with other members of the Executive Committee, I made the
following points:
1. My job is to link between the Board and the organization.
2. 1 intend to spend time with the Board and with the employees, leaving the day-
to-day management in the hands of the two Assistant General Managers.
3. We need to revisit the evaluation system to make it performance based and
target it to achieve the goals of the organization.
4. 1 will promote change to make the style of management more collegial.
5. We must control and reduce costs.
Finally, I made certain commitments to the group which are noted below:
1. Two strategic workshops a year with the Executive Committee to plan and
monitor achievements.
2. Complete the Consolidation Study.
3. Complete the Space Utilization Study.
4. Meet quarterly with all employees of each department in settings to be
determined by Department Heads.
5. Develop comprehensive external communication system.
6. Complete Landfill Study and possible negotiations.
Using the ideas expressed above, and any others that can be mutually agreed upon, I
would suggest that the Steering Committee commit the time to develop a specific work
plan for me so that at evaluation time in March my performance can be measured
against previously agreed upon criteria, just as we do for all management personnel.
I would like to discuss this briefly at the Steering Committee meeting on Wednesday,
September 27, and have place this matter on the agenda for that purpose.

MANL;aEMENT PERFORMAUE REVIEW
The Districts' Management Performance Review Program focuses on an employee's development as well as past
performance, and emphasizes future achievement. It involves both the employee and supervisor in establishing
clear work goals and performance targets that support their department's and the Districts' overall mission. The
following comments are offered to clarify the process, and to encourage its application in a fair and consistent
manner. However, the real value of performance appraisal lies in the ongoing communication and understanding
of mutual needs and expectations that is developed in the course of working through the process. This form is
simply a means of formalizing and documenting the achievement of that goal.
Section I must be completed and agreed upon by the supervisor and the employee at the beginning of
the review period in order to provide performance and achievement targets. Targets may, however, be
revised during the review period to respond to changing priorities, goals or parameters of success. Section I
Ratings and all subsequent sections will be completed by the supervisor and reviewed at the conclusion of the
review period.
The rating in Section I is intended to evaluate how effectively the employee achieves objectives and carries out
responsibilities during the review period. Projects, responsibilities or objectives that represent major
commitments of the employee's time will be selected and briefly described. Performance factors that are major
considerations and define measurable characteristics within each of the selected areas are mutually determined,
and characterized in one or two words. Examples of frequently used performance factors are listed below.
Subjective factors, such as attitude, loyalty, and diplomacy should be avoided as they are difficult to quantify,
and may have very different meanings among different individuals.
❑Timeliness ❑ Quantity ❑ Accuracy
O Decisiveness ❑ Productivity ❑ Persistence
❑ Communications ❑ Cost Effectiveness ❑ Reliability
O Organization ❑ Proactive O Consistency
O Goal Attainment O Staff Development O Innovativeness
O Implementation ❑ Report Writing O Initiative
O Resourcefulness ❑ Objectivity O Dependability
❑ Supports Others ❑ Personal Development O Work Quality
At the conclusion of the review period, Performance Ratings and Supporting Comments will be added by the
supervisor. Supporting comments should be specific to results achieved and support the rating in an objective
and factual manner. Ratings of performance should conform to the following definitions:
Outstanding - Reserved for employees who consistently exceed expectations in all job aspects, perform
all duties in a superior manner and consistently seek out improved work methods.
Exceeds Expecta6orts - Employee's performance exceeds expectations in most aspects of the job, and
consistently exceeds a majority of critical agreed upon objectives and anticipated results.
Meets Expectations - Employee has mastered all of the major or critical job aspects, and consistently
meets performance expectations of most objectives.
Improvement Needed - Employee's performance does not consistently meet expectations, and requires
intense supervision or assistance. Performance deficiencies must be addressed in Section II and an
Action Plan developed.
Unacceptable - Employee consistently fails to meet performance expectations and to achieve the results
required in Skills Development program within a reasonable period. Separation is indicated.
The Overall Performance Level is a summary of the employee's total performance over the review period.
Comments should support the Overall Rating in each Major Responsibility/Objective area, and reflect the relative
importance of each area.
