COUNTY PLANS BOOST FOR OFFICIALS' SALARIES.


Byline: PHAEDRA HAYWOOD

The Santa Fe Santa Fe, city, Argentina
Santa Fe, city (1991 pop. 341,000), capital of Santa Fe prov., NE Argentina, a river port near the Paraná, with which it is connected by canal.
 County Commission is scheduled to vote on a resolution today that would increase salaries of county elected officials by more than 50 percent in most cases.

The resolution is listed on the consent calendar portion of the agenda, meaning it is one of dozens of items that will be decided on by a single vote without discussion.

The annual salary for all county commissioners will rise to $29,569 from $25,712, a 15 percent increase. Because of staggered terms staggered terms

Membership terms for a firm's directors that expire in different years. A firm with 12 directors might have 4-year terms with 3 seats up for election each year. Staggered terms make it more difficult for a raider to gain control of a board.
 on the five-member elected body, none of the commissioners who votes on this item will actually see an increase in his or her own salary.

Commissioners Harry Montoya, Virginia Vigil and Mike Anaya -- who will remain in office after two newly elected commissioners join the commission in January -- already receive $29,569 per year, the maximum approved by the state in 2006.
