Cy-Fair Fire Department Fire Chief Amy Ramon will perform a self-evaluation using a template reviewed by the Harris County Emergency Services District No. 9 board of commissioners.
Harris County ESD 9 serves as a political subdivision and taxing entity that supports fire suppression and emergency medical service operations for CFFD.
What’s new
Originally discussed at the June 25 regular meeting, Commissioner Cameron Dickey said a committee has been fine-tuning a performance evaluation tool for CFFD, as previously reported by Community Impact.
Dickey said the commissioners present at the July 14 workshop focused on streamlining vocabulary throughout the evaluation template to provide consistency with the fire chief's language. They also worked with Ramon to establish high-quality performance metrics. Dickey said the commissioners want a collaborative process in developing the tool to establish buy-in from all parties involved.
“Ultimately, the board establishes what those performance metrics are,” Dickey said, “But we value the input of the people who do the job every day.”
Commissioners Rob Paiva and Jaime Martinez were not present at the July 14 workshop.
The plan
Ramon will have until midnight July 20 to complete the self-evaluation so it can be distributed to all board members alongside the evaluation template.
Dickey said the commissioners will review the compiled evaluation results, set and finalize the future period goals for the next review period, and discuss the fire chief's compensation in light of the performance evaluation results at the July 29 workshop.
Looking forward
The board of commissioners is slated to meet July 29 at 5:30 p.m. at the District Administration Building at 10710 Telge Road, Cypress, for a special meeting.
