City Council News

It is now up to the mayor and City Council to decide which of the Charter Review Commission’s proposed charter changes should go before voters.

It will soon be up to City Council to decide whether to ask voters in November for a big pay raise and to strip salary and tenure caps on the city manager. The Charter Review Commission on Thursday finalized its recommended changes to the city charter, sticking to the parts of San Antonio ’s governing document that Mayor Ron Nirenberg directed the group to review. Such as pay for council members and the mayor.

Perry pleaded guilty to the charge, while Whyte’s criminal case is pending. Andrew Vicencio, a self-described “exhausted taxpayer,” compared the proposed pay boost to the starting wages for police and firefighters — which are lower than $80,000. “Last I checked, the City Council members don’t carry a person out of a burning building. They don’t respond to a domestic call and put themselves in harm’s way 24/7,” Vicencio said. He called for leaving council pay and term lengths as is.
