Council argues over city manager’s extension
It wasn’t the man, but more the method which led to heated discussions surrounding city manager Jim Toye’s extension.
Both Coun. Charlene Miller and Coun. Evert Botha argued it was the duty of council to provide an annual written performance evaluation of the city manager, a step not yet taken.
“I feel like we are circumventing our own bylaws and I cannot agree to this motion, not without written reviews from all of council,” Botha said.
Miller concurred, reiterating her stance from a previous meeting. She admitted Toye “has done a fantastic job,” but the written review was just part of her responsibility as a councillor.
