The South Lake Tahoe City Council today gave glowing reviews to the city manager and city attorney.

Even so, neither will be receiving a raise. City Attorney Tom Watson asked for more vacation time. The council deferred making a decision on that request to the September meeting. Watson gets two weeks vacation, just like all employees with his number of years with the city. After five years, it goes to three weeks.

City Manager Nancy Kerry did not seek any adjustments to her contract or benefits.

“Ms. Kerry was praised for her handling of the budget, her guidance and her leadership,” Mayor Wendy David told Lake Tahoe News after the Aug. 16 closed session discussion. “Mr. Watson was recognized in particular for his litigation successes this year and for basically representing the city well.”
