Charter Amendments Survey

on our City Charter Amendment Propositions

Please note: this survey was released prior to San Antonio’s 2024 Charter Amendment election.

Elected Seats on Utility Boards: Inclusion of two publicly elected "Rate Payer Representative" seats each on the boards of CPS Energy and the San Antonio Water System (SAWS). These representatives will be elected by the public, ensuring that our residents' voices are directly involved in governing these essential services, promoting transparency and accountability.

City Attorney Appointment Process: Council members, who are accountable to the voters, should have a City Attorney who is accountable to them. As it stands, with a City Attorney accountable to the City Manager, there is a risk that legal opinions could be laundered before they reach the Council, and ultimately the public. The way we do it in San Antonio is done by only 9% of cities like us in Texas.

Direct accountability provides trust and transparency. With this in mind, I propose two City Attorney appointment options for the ballot:
1. That the City Attorney be appointed by the City Council, or
2. That the Council have a separate attorney, appointed by the Council and accountable to the Council.
