The San Antonio City Council voted on Thursday to formalize the process of appointing a temporary replacement for District 2 Councilmember Jalen McKee-Rodriguez as he prepares to go on parental leave following the adoption of his child.
McKee-Rodriguez’s leave is scheduled to start on Aug. 1 and end on Sept. 30.
Applications for the temporary District 2 post opened last week on the city clerk’s website and will close on June 3.
The city council will select three finalists to interview in early June before voting to appoint his replacement on June 12.
The selected appointee will serve until Sept. 30, or until McKee-Rodriguez returns from leave, if it is earlier than scheduled.
The appointee will have all the rights and responsibilities of the council role following the appointment.
