The Las Cruces City Council will consider Tuesday whether to raise the salary of City Manager Robert Garza.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that the hike would raise Garza's salary to $166,000 and be part of proposed revisions to his contract that increase a requirement that he take a two-week vacation on consecutive weeks every year beyond the four weeks of annual leave he already receives.
Garza has been city manager for a little more than two years.
Initially getting a two-year contract when he began in January 2011, Garza's contract was extended three more years, and he was given a 5-percent raise — to $157,000 — a year ago.
He received favorable job performance reviews from the council.
Mayor Ken Miyagishima says Garza has earned new contract perks.
