Documents obtained yesterday by HMG-CN show that Artesia City Manager Bill Rawlings, who resigned under a cloud of harassment, received a $244,000 severance along with vacation and sick leave totaling over $178,000 for a total hit to city coffers of nearly $320,000.
The city will also pay Rawling’s health costs for 10.5 months, unless he is employed before that.
Rawlings was accused of verbally harassing managers in Artesia.
HMG-CN had the accusations from the local AFSCME union for months but could not confirm with city officials.
Yesterday, HMG-CN was first to report that Rawlings resigned and obtained the Separation Agreement.
