Mr. Kaawa seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0. Civil Service Commission Open Session March 1, 2022 Page 4 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION CSC 2022-08 Discussion and possible action on the Director of Human Resources annual evaluation. (on-going) a) Review updated timeline b) Discussion and possible decision-making on other related matters Ms. Ching explained her memo that the commission received was in response to their uneasiness expressed in completing an annual evaluation for DHR Anderson. The memo outlined potential remedies of the commissions concerns. One possibility was to defer the DHR evaluation until June 30, 2022. This would allow additional time for the commission, and it would align the evaluation with the fiscal budget should the goals require allocated funds. Vice Chair Gotelli shared that she was in favor of the recommendations. Vice Chair Gotelli moved to change the DHR evaluation due date to June 30, 2022. Mr. Ramos seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0. CSC 2022-09 Director of Human Resources Goals and Objectives for evaluation period February 16, 2021 to February 15, 2022 (on-going) a) Review updated report b) Discussion and possible decision-making on other related matters Ms. Ching explained this would take care of another concern that the commission had regarding the DHR not having goals and objectives. Now that the commission extended the DHR evaluation due date to June 30, 2022 the goals and objectives should also be extended so there would be no lapse in knowing what the commission expected from the DHR. Ms. Ching summed up the last two motions for the commissioners. She said the DHR annual evaluation and goals and objectives were now both extended to June 30, 2022. Thereafter the annual evaluations would be from July 1 to June 30. Ms. Cano moved to extend the current DHR goals and objectives to June 30, 2022. Mr. Kaawa seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0. Civil Service Commission Open Session March 1, 2022 Page 5 SUBJECT DISCUSSION ACTION CSC 2022-10 Discussion and possible action on the Director of Human Resources Goals and Objectives (on-going). a) Review current goals and objectives, change goals, and add or delete goals. Ms. Ching said this would address what happened after June 30, 2022, once the commission completed the DHR annual evaluation and the goals and objectives. The commission had several options; • Extend and adopt the current DRH goals and objectives through June 30, 2023. • Defer discussion until the next meeting. • Change the goals and objectives for the next evaluation period. After discussing the options, the commission realized there would not be sufficient time to defer discussion and they were not ready to delve into changing the goals either. Ms. Ching suggested the commission extend the current goals and take the next year to examine the process, forms, and goals. Ms. Muragin stated the timeline would be updated and forwarded to the commission. Vice Chair Gotelli moved to extend the current DHR goals and objectives to June 30, 2023. Mr. Kaawa seconded the motion. Motion carried 5:0. Ms. Muragin advised the commission if there were no amendments or changes to the executive session minutes it could be approved in open session.
