I just went through what I would call a modified 360 evaluation where the
employees were included but not the commissions or the public.  We have had
some difficult issues lately regarding personnel and the disgruntled  used
the process to dump on the city manager.  No matter how hard I tried to
explain to the council they tallied up the scores and were concerned about
the rating of the staff.  For the most part, the staff that was content did
not respond.

Dear fellow city managers:

I am approaching my evaluation in October and the Mayor has decided to use
the 360 degree evaluation using surveymonkey.com.  Apparently she enters all
the email addresses of the employees, council and planning commission and
they send out a questionnaire and they return it back to the Mayor with the
responses without giving names.  I remember a discussion on the listserve a
while back about this topic but I wanted to respond to the Mayor in writing
as to why a 360 evaluation is a bad idea.  Any input would be greatly
appreciated?

Thanks.
