Consider approval of a resolution of the City of Denton amending policy no. 104.03 “Performance Reviews” to outline the intention behind Performance Reviews, including creating the opportunity for collaboration within the City, encouraging open communication, reinforcing strengths, identifying opportunities for improvement, and connecting individual contributions to broader organizational goals; declaring an effective date.

The City of Denton is amending Policy No. 104.03 “Performance Reviews” to update its purpose and language. The revisions aim to clarify that performance reviews are intended to foster collaboration, encourage open communication, reinforce strengths, identify areas for improvement, and connect individual contributions to broader organizational goals. The policy's title is being updated from 'Performance Appraisals' to 'Performance Reviews' for consistency. Procedural steps are being removed from the policy document itself and will be handled through administrative directives issued by the City Manager, clarifying distinct roles and responsibilities for employees, Human Resources, and supervisors. This policy update has no budgetary impact and is effective immediately upon passage.
