City Council

City council members and the former mayor have repeatedly said they did not sign NDAs related to Project Marvel.

The city council updated its Council Consideration Request Ordinance, which regulates a major way council members propose and implement policy.

The city had to balance the budget after starting out with a $20 million deficit.

The council members signed a memo calling for a vote to amend the city's key policymaking ordinance to protect it from efforts Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones has made to change the policymaking process.

The mayor also stripped Meza Gonzalez of her committee assignments last week.

SAPD pulled over and arrested Meza Gonzalez on July 24 after an officer said she was driving erratically and then failed a field sobriety test and refused a breathalyzer test.

Three council members are calling to put a proposed animal abandonment ordinance back on next week's agenda after Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones removed it this week.

Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones has encouraged her colleagues to consider a 'strategic pause' on negotiations with the basketball team until an independent economic impact study and subsequent community engagement is completed.

A majority of Gina Ortiz Jones’ colleagues appeared ready to vote down her proposed changes in a future council session before her reversal.

A majority of council members said any of the mayor's proposed changes to the policymaking process needed to have a full council vote, even if they agree with them.
