Committee Reports:
General manager evaluation: Amy Breckenridge presented forms for
general manager evaluation: Manager Performance and Development
Self-Evaluation; Board Evaluation of Manager Performance and Development; and
Staff Evaluation of Manager Performance and Development. It was suggested
to allow employee board representative to collate and present results to the
board and excuse themselves for discussion of results.
Amy also presented a Staff Appeals Form to be used for staff complaint resolution. A quorum was not present and discussion was tabled until next meeting.
Disaster planning/Flooding issue: Luke Lundemo recommended the
city be pressed to address the flooding problem as the city allowed the business
to build on the drain system. Lawyers and City Councilmen that have Rainbow
memberships may be contacted by Board for assistance. It was suggested that Thelman Boyd specifically
might help bring attention to the flooding issue. Luke also discussed
organizing members to support this effort.
A plan to address expenses incurred by flooding will be addressed in
subsequent Board meeting.
Plaza improvements were discussed and whether improvements
should begin or postponed/reevaluated because of flooding expenses.
Daniel Johnson discussed his role within Rainbow and how it has changed over
the past year. Due to the lack of a
quorum this discussion would be held for subsequent Board meeting. Attendees also discussed competition with
other stores, maximizing square footage, buying locally, the budget, etc.
