A proposal for a city staff survey that caught Oak Harbor leadership off guard has mysteriously disappeared. Councilmember Beth Munns announced last November that the city council had developed a survey to take the “pulse” of city staff due to concerns over morale, transparency, and the quality of supervision. At the time, Council member Joel Servatius explained that he and Munns had created the survey. Council members Tara Hizon and Jim Woessner indicated they were surprised by the announcement as was Mayor Bob Severns. This survey has apparently disappeared, however Mayor Severns intends to conduct his own survey concerning these areas towards the end of this year. For more details, see the story by Emily Gilbert.
