Considerations for a City Manager Contract for the City Of Lowell, MA
April 27, 2010Move Lowell Forward PAC has released a document entitled Considerations for a City Manager Contract for the City Of Lowell, MA. The document is a set of ideas based around the PAC's stated mission, on ways to incorporate goals and measurements into a performance-based City Manager's contract, and a method for evaluation, that could help determine compensation.
The PAC puts forward this document in the hopes of eliciting a wider range of discussion, and is not recommending any one idea or even the concept of performance based compensation. However, the current contract negotiations are a good opportunity to examine the process by which Lowell's City Manager is evaluated, and how to create strong incentives for continuing excellence in managing the City of Lowell.
