OPINION: Decisions by the Point Boro Council Make No Sense

In communications with the Boro Council I have asked repeatedly if there exists a performance evaluation process for highly compensated Boro Employees. After asking repeatedly, I finally got a straight answer...NO!

That means that employees work year after year with no indication about how they are doing on the job, and there is no guidance for employees about what is expected and raises come...good, bad or in between.

Last year I was told we (council) are working on a performance evaluation process. When I recently inquired about the progress on the promise, I was told that creating a performance evaluation process is hard to do under the NJ Civil Service Rules and Regulations.

After a little investigation I discovered that Point Pleasant Borough is one of the VERY FEW small towns that remains under the NJ Civil Service System. In fact, of the approximately 600 towns and cities in NJ, fewer than 200 elected to be regulated under the NJ Civil Service. 

What do you think?
