The Board of
Trustees shall evaluate the job performance of the Library Director annually.
The evaluation period shall be the previous fiscal year. The evaluation shall
be completed between August and September. If circumstances dictate, the Board
may choose to conduct one or more special evaluations at any time.

objectives prior to the beginning of each fiscal year as the proposed budget is
developed and approved.
The evaluation
shall be primarily based on the Director's goals and objectives for the fiscal
year constituting the evaluation period, which have been previously agreed upon
by both parties. Performance areas to be addressed include, but are not limited
to:
- Staff relationships and management
- Library goals as stated in the strategic plan
- Overall quality of Library services
- Financial responsibility and oversight
- Fund development
- Community relations
- Facilities management
