SAN ANTONIO — A discussion over the city attorney’s job performance is set for Wednesday’s council meeting. It comes after five council members claim he has given them inconsistent legal advice and blocked their initial request to meet and discuss ongoing negotiations with the fire union.
This started back in February when negotiations began between the city and fire union on a collective bargaining agreement.
Now, two months in, they still have not made a deal. During this time, council members have been briefed individually by City Attorney Andy Segovia and City Manager Erik Walsh on the negotiations.
However District 2 Councilman Jalen McKee-Rodriguez says he has not.
District 10 Councilman Marc Whyte also said he had not had his prior to a press conference last week on the City Attorney.
That’s when council members revealed they pushed for an executive session about it, but say their request was denied by Segovia.
When we asked the City Attorney “why,” he mentioned concerns of a leak of information but did not clarify further.
However, they will meet at 2 p.m. Wednesday during an executive session of City Council.
According to the agenda, they will meet to discuss personal matters regarding the City Attorney.
Then Thursday, a public briefing regarding the fire union is expected to happen.
We will be there to learn what comes of that meeting and we we’ll keep you updated on the latest.
