and assistant heads to the Municipal Council or to recommend to the
Municipal Council or the appropriate committee thereof such commendations
or disciplinary or corrective measures as the Committee shall deem
advisable. Such review and evaluation shall be conducted at the request
of a department head or assistant department head or at the instance
of the Committee, the Municipal Council, or the Mayor, and any resulting
merit pay increases shall be granted in the fiscal year following
evaluation, unless the Council shall particularly otherwise direct.

its review and report its evaluation based upon the criteria and point
values set forth in Form B, which is appended to this section. An
average evaluation point total of 65 or greater shall be deemed a
