ROBERT BRADSHAW The Port Aransas City Council has decided to give City Manager Robert Bradshaw a three percent raise.

Bradshaw’s salary goes up from $108,992 to $112,257.

The council voted 7-0 on Thursday, Oct. 20, to approve the pay hike after a 15-minute session behind closed doors. Texas law allows city councils to meet in closed session to discuss personnel matters.

The discuss i o n in the closed session was “brief and unanimous,” Mayor Keith McMullin said.

“We remain very supportive of our city manager,” Mc- Mullin said.

Most city employees got pay raises of at least three percent in the city budget passed Sept. 8.

Bradshaw was town manager at Indian River Shores, Fla., before he was hired to be Port Aransas city manager in April 2010. He took office on June 21 that year.
