Title
Review & Possible Action on Recommendations from the BPU Self-Evaluation Working Group
Recommended Action
I move that the Board of Public Utilities approve the suggested revisions to the BPU Self Evaluation tool [as presented or amended.]
Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that the Board approve the motion as presented.
Body
Members Eric Stromberg and Jennifer Hollingsworth volunteered to serve on the self evaluation working group. They have reviewed the 2024 evaluation tool formatted and distributed using Polco Survey software. They will present their suggested changes to the board for approval. It is important to note that the questions/statements that appear on the evaluation tool have been formulated by board members since at least 2014. DPU staff members do not write the questions/statements, they only distribute the tool in the language and format approved by the board, gather responses, and present the findings to the board.
This item was originally on the agenda for the February 5, 2025 BPU Work Session and deferred due to time constraints. It was rescheduled for the March 5, 2025 Work Session and deferred because no action could be taken during the work session and Member Stromberg was absent.
Alternatives
The board could continue to use the 2024 Self-Evaluation tool with no changes. Or any board member could suggest a different method, questions, or statements for the self evaluation.
