Performance Evaluation
Cycle, Part 1
1. THE CAO’S PROCESS
CREATING THE CAO HANDBOOK FOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Note that your municipality may not have all the
elements described in the process, but because this
Toolkit is a “pick and choose” model, you don’t need
all of the elements. Use the elements that you do have,
and consider, as you read through, whether you’d like
to investigate additional elements for next year. As you
work through Part 1, you will collect information into a
Handbook to give to Mayor and Council for their work
in preparing the Final Performance Evaluation Report
in Part 2. A checklist for your information gathering is
provided in Appendix 2: CAO Process Checklist. 1.3 Review Goals & Key Results: The CAO gathers and
reviews previously agreed-upon strategic goals, key
result areas, the strategic plan, and/or Council priorities.
1.1 Review Governance Requirements: The CAO
gathers and reviews all policies, bylaws, regulations,
and acts that relate to or clarify the role of the CAO or
that Councils must follow in regard to performance
evaluations of their CAO. 1.6 Conduct the Self-Assessment: The CAO uses
Template 1.6A: Performance Evaluation template to
conduct the self-assessment. This template will provide
you with your own self-assessment process, which you
can evaluate prior to the Mayor and Council using the
same assessment on you.
1.2 Review Hiring Documents: The CAO gathers
and reviews the CAO job description, contract, and
covenants (if any).

and Council.
