ENCINITAS -- Mayor James Bond and Deputy Mayor Jerome Stocks are recommending a 20 percent raise for City Manager Phil Cotton.
The increase would bump Cotton's annual salary by $33,723, from $165,000 to $198,723.
Cotton, a retired Marine, was promoted from public works director to city manager in October. Bond and Stocks negotiated with Cotton to draft his original contract.
In addition to the proposed salary increase, Cotton would receive health and retirement benefits.
The Encinitas City Council is scheduled to consider the recommended raise Wednesday as part of its consent calendar, a portion of the meeting's agenda reserved for routine matters usually approved in a single motion without comment.
City Council members or members of the public can ask to remove matters such as the compensation plan from the consent calendar for a separate discussion. If they don't, the raise would be voted upon without debate.
The City Council meets at 6 p.m. Wednesday at 505 S. Vulcan Ave.
Thanx JP for the pub!!
