charter amendments

The charter amendments cover issues including mayoral and council pay, mayoral and council term lengths, city manager tenure and salary caps, municipal employee political activity, city ethics revisions, and language modernization changes.

Next week, the Council will vote next week to place the amendments — which cover issues like council and mayoral pay, removing a municipal politics ban on city employees, and council and mayoral term lengths — on the November ballot.

Other recommended changes included new term lengths for council and the mayor and the elimination of tenure and salary caps for the city manager. The council votes in August, and voters make final decisions in November.

The ultimate decision on how to change the charter will be left to voters in the fall.

The Charter Review Commission's possible changes to the San Antonio City Charter also focus on the number of council districts and the establishment of an independent ethics auditor.

The new city charter amendment initiative on Oct. 18 would make a number of reforms related to police practices and enforcement.
