Las Cruces officials are reviewing the impact of an ordinance increasing the minimum age since its implementation six months ago.
The Las Cruces City Council will discuss the ordinance in a work session Monday.
The meeting is expected to draw a significant number of people for and against the three-step plan.
Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima says it will be a forum on how it has affected residents directly but councilors are not seeking to change anything.
The city's minimum wage rose from $7.50 to $8.40 last January.
Two more raises are scheduled to take effect in January 2017 and January 2019, respectively.
Supporters say the raise was necessary to help the city's lowest-paid employees.
Opponents fear it will negatively affect the economy.
