City of Baltimore issued the following announcement on Dec. 1.
After holding two in-depth meetings and reviewing a number of materials for the purpose of conducting an annual performance review, the Inspector General Advisory Board delivered its inaugural performance review to Inspector General Isabel Mercedes Cumming on Wednesday, November 24, 2021. Under the City Charter, a seven-member Advisory Board is charged with meeting “at least once annually to review the performance of the Inspector General”.
It is up to the Inspector General whether to make the reviews public. Inspector General Cumming released the document this morning.
These performance reviews prepared by each Advisory Board member, including a 10 page review by the Chair, set forth the Advisory Board’s responsibility to conduct the performance review, describes the steps taken to conduct the review, presents an evaluation of the Inspector General’s performance, and discusses the importance of the Office of the Inspector General’s (OIG) independence.
Collectively the reviews provide constructive feedback and ultimately find that the Inspector General is doing an effective job and is held in high regard by the public. They also find that the OIG is hard-working, highly capable, and committed to carrying out its obligations under the Charter.
