Coral Springs City Manager Mike Levinson got a raise and plenty of praise from City Commission members at last week’s meeting.

After an annual performance review, city officials unanimously decided to give Levinson a 6 percent raise on his existing salary of $205,635, taking into account his performance that substantially above expectations.” His new annual base salary will be $214,374 – 4.25 percent of the raise will be added to the base salary, while Levinson will take the rest home in cash.

Pembroke Pines spends $754,941 every year on its city manager and deputy city manager, while the Fort Lauderdale city manager takes home an annual base salary of $230,090. The corresponding figure for city managers in Boca Raton, Hollywood, Sunrise, and Coconut Creek are $211,576, $201,115, $187,335, and $192,800.

Although Levinson’s contract was originally from Oct. 1, 2003 to Sept. 30, 2009, he has agreed to stay on for another year.
