The City of St. Louis Personnel and Administration Committee discussed options for an electronic 360-degree employee performance-review system. Two vendor estimates were around $5,000 each, while using the city’s existing Oracle system was estimated to require about $100,000 in upfront costs. The committee noted that purchases of $5,000 or more must be put out to bid. No vendor was selected or contract awarded. By motion, the committee agreed to continue the existing performance-review process in paper form while electronic options are on hold; it also voted to finalize legal counsel’s prior assessment period.

The committee authorized President Green to participate in preliminary collective-bargaining discussions with unionized Board of Aldermen staff, with proposals brought back to the Personnel and Administration Committee for review and approval; the full board is to be notified of opportunities to participate. The committee also discussed reviewing the draft employee handbook before deciding whether to share proposed changes with staff, and adopted a policy for a legislative assistant to remain temporarily under the Clerk’s Office during an alderperson’s vacancy, with the newly elected alderperson deciding whether to retain or replace the assistant. No other procurement awards or spending approvals were identified.
