the performance evaluation process and in labor negotiations with the City Attorney.It has been the City’s custom for many years to appoint the labor negotiators prior to reviewing the City Manager’s and City Attorney’s performance. Doing so allows the negotiators to have compensation discussions with the City Manager or City Attorney during or after the review process. The negotiators have also been consulted on scheduling and process for the performance review. At the end of the process, the representatives will report their recommendation to the City Council in an open session. The last time such committees were convened was 2021; the two designated labor negotiators for the City Manager were Mayor Hernandez and Vice Mayor Josey,and the two designated labor negotiators for the City Attorney were Councilmember Kumagai and Councilmember Hu.
