Boston Mayor Marty Walsh wants a raise.

Walsh has requested a 4.2 percent increase in salary ranges for himself and city council.

The mayor is asking for an annual salary of $207,000 - up from $199,000. Maximum pay for councilors' could increase from $99,500 to $103,500. In 2015 the City Council raised the maximum mayoral salary from $175,000 to $199,000. Walsh began collecting the higher salary in April, city officials said.

Walsh's request comes after The Municipal Compensation Advisory Board (MCAP) recommended an increase in salary for about 50 city jobs, ranging from the police commissioner to members of the licensing board. MCAP, a five-person board selected by the mayor, delivers salary recommendations every other year to keep the jobs in City Hall competitive, according to the city charter.

MCAP members say the decision was based on a study by Segal Waters Consulting.

If approved by the Council, the raises would go into effect in 2020.
