Councilmen Marc Whyte (D10) and Jalen McKee-Rodriguez (D2) want to see faster action on Council Consideration Requests.
Councilman Marc Whyte , right, has proposed that Council Consideration Requests be placed on the next Governance Committee agenda within 60 days of being submitted, or by the second scheduled committee meeting, whichever is sooner.After months of grumbling from San Antonio City Council members who say their policy proposals are getting stalled, the city plans to institute new deadlines for action on their ideas.
“The problem is, our council consideration requests weren’t moving,” Whyte said. “There was no transparency. The mayor was able to kill the ones he didn’t want and slow-play some others.” Another effort to clarify how the mayor handles three-signature memos — such as the one progressives Teri Castillo and McKee-Rodriguez submitted in Decembercame under scrutiny
“Have that conversation with me as the governance chair … because that’s the kind of mechanism we have in place for making sure there’s compliance to our best of intentions,” he added.In August, Whyte met with Nirenberg, City Manager Erik Walsh and City Attorney Andy Segovia to discuss what he saw as a gap between city’s existing policy for moving CCRs and how it’s been applied.
“I’m always going to prioritize transparency and accountability in our policymaking process and welcome any attempt to improve our efforts,” Nirenberg said at the time.
