Annual evaluations of Genesee County Director of Administration and Genesee County Corporation Counsel*
*Pursuant to the annual direct report evaluation policy adopted by the Genesee County Board of Commissioners on 10.15.25
PROPOSED PROCESS
Consistent with the Board of Commissioners’ policy of annually evaluating each of its direct reports (adopted on 10.15.25), the Governmental Operations Committee proposes that each Commissioner individually complete and return to the Chair and Vice Chair of the Governmental Operations Committee evaluation instruments for the positions of Genesee County Director of Administration and Genesee County Corporation Counsel. Each of these evaluation instruments - one specific to each position - will be proposed separately for adoption by the full Board of Commissioners.
Each Commissioner will have thirty calendar days to complete his or her evaluation instruments (see proposed timeline below). Upon the completion and return of each completed evaluation instrument to the Chair and Vice Chair of the Governmental Operations Committee, the evaluation results for each position will be aggregated and shared with each of the nine Commissioners. Evaluations submitted after the thirty-day deadline will not be included in the aggregate document(s).
In compliance with the Open Meetings Acts and any other relevant statutes or County policies, the full Board of Commissioners will meet in December 2025 to review and discuss the aggregate results of each evaluation.
