 Hello, I am Lynn Griezmer, President of the Amherst Town Council. As each of you continues your service to the town of Amherst, the town council wants to thank you for being part of our team. Our employees are our best asset, and we can only make Amherst work by working with you. The town council is beginning its annual evaluation of the town manager. We specifically invite you to join in that effort by responding to the survey, which is linked within this email. Responses are due by midnight on Friday, October 27th. The town manager's performance goals include both policy and management goals, and they can be found at www.amherst.gov slash town manager. When you go there, click the link for the 2023 town council performance goals for the town manager. A new feature of this year's evaluation is the opportunity for you to read the town manager's self-evaluation. That self-evaluation can be found at the link provided in the letter. Please be aware that your submission will be added to a summary report without attribution to you. This document will be read by every town council member and the town manager. However, these are personnel documents and as such are exempt from public disclosure. You may submit your evaluation online by clicking on the link in this email. Paper copies of the evaluation instruments have been provided to your supervisor and can be returned to the director of human resources at Fort Boatwood Avenue Amherst Mass. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the town council office at 413-259-3001 or write the town council at town council at amherstma.gov. Thank you for your participation and assistance. We look forward to hearing from you.
