Town of Amherst Seeks Feedback on Performance of Town Manager

The Select Board has issued the following announcement to the community:

The Select Board is beginning its annual evaluation of the Town Manager. We invite members of the public to submit written comments by Wednesday, August 3, 2011.

Please be aware that submissions are NOT confidential. They will be read by the Select Board and the Town Manager. These are personnel documents, and as such, are exempt from public disclosure. The forms become part of the Town Manager’s personnel file, with the same protections and restricted access as any employee’s personnel file.

Submissions may be e-mailed to selectboard@amherstma.gov, or sent to:

TOWN MANAGER EVALUATION
Stephanie O’Keeffe, Chair
Amherst Select Board
Town Hall
4 Boltwood Avenue
Amherst, MA 01002

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Select Board Office at 259-3001, or selectboard@amherstma.gov.

We are seeking input from Town Meeting members, Town committee members and the general public, so please circulate this information broadly. In an effort to save money and staff time, we are no longer sending out post cards about this to Town Meeting members, so it would be particularly helpful if you could inform those you know who don’t tend to use e-mail or access the Town web site.

Thank you for your assistance. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Stephanie O'Keeffe, on behalf of the Select Board
