Watson, who has been with the city for one year, did not receive a raise. He has received an automatic step increase that brought him to the top step. It is possible in the near future that his contract will be extended beyond the two years that are remaining.

It is nice to hear positive commentary about a City employee. Congratulations to Tom and keep up the good work.
