Attachment A
City Manager
Council Feedback
For the Year 2011
The City Manager, Mr. Mark Rohloff, continues to show high energy, to multi-task and to
remain balanced with a focus on both details and the larger policy issues. Through these tough
economic times, he has demonstrated the ability to continue to move forward with the
strategic priorities and the vision of the City, while keeping services to the citizens intact. He is
dealing head on with the difficult issue of leading the development of a new wage and
classification system for city employees.
The Council continues to encourage his visible and active involvement in a wide spectrum of
community activities. Over the last year, the Council has seen Mr. Rohloff become much more
visible in the community working with citizens groups and other organizations. He has attended
many community events and is well respected in the community.
The Council continues to want the City Manager to provide an easy understanding of the
budget process and options that would encourage increased strategic planning. The Council
should get involved with the budget sooner and should be made easy to understand.
The Council understands 2011 saw significant changes to collective bargaining and significant
funding cuts, yet with diligent work by Mr. Rohloff, Finance Director Steeno and others, the City
was able to approve a balanced budget, continue street and storm sewer improvements and
move the City of Oshkosh forward. The Council understands there will be difficult times ahead,
but we are confident in the City Manager's ability to continue to deal with these issues in a
professional manner for the betterment of the city and its citizens.

2012
GOALS FOR THE CITY MANAGER
As a result of the performance evaluation process, the Council established five goals for the City
Manager for 2012. Each goal is worth a maximum of ten (10) points with a total maximum of
fifty (50) points. Council will set aside up to $5000 for a non-base building pay adjustment in
2013 for the City Manager. At the end of 2012, the Council will assess the City Manager's
relative performance in achieving each of the five goals.
1. Develop a tracking system for the Oshkosh Transit System.
Plan the implementation of a system to track and provide data reporting and analysis of all bus
users by location. Include the implementation plan and required resources for the tracking
system in the 2013 budget.
2. Develop a plan that centralizes economic development for the City of Oshkosh.
Research and recommend a plan that would allow for the City Manager and his staff to develop
a plan for City economic development that incorporates best land use practices and works in
conjunction with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Questions to be answered are: Are Chamco,
OAEDC and the Chamber effective in the pursuit of economic development? Would creating a
formal economic development structure within the City be more effective? If so, is it possible to
fund or use existing resources for this purpose? What other municipalities are responsible for
economic development and how has it worked for them?
3. Update and implement revised zoning regulations and codes.
Review existing codes and zoning regulations and revise them where necessary to ensure they
are compatible with the history of neighborhoods within the city and are sympathetic to the
current needs and life styles of the citizens.
4. Develop and implement an updated strategic plan for the city.
Work with the Council, staff and representative citizens in the development of an updated
strategic plan for the City. The document should clearly identify the updated City's strategic
directions,the strategic initiatives and action plans for the initiatives over the next 1—3 years.
5. For all non-represented employees, develop and put in place an implementation plan for a new
wage and job classification system which includes a pay for performance component.
The job classification system and wage structure should be ready for implementation by
December 31, 2012. As part of the package, a new pay for performance system for all non-
represented employees should be included and ready for at least partial implementation
beginning in 2013.
