Council appoints Sal Hernandez as city secretary with $83,000 salary and $60 monthly phone allowance
Summary
After an executive session, the council appointed Sal Hernandez as city secretary, setting an annual salary of $83,000 and a $60 monthly phone allowance, effective Oct. 27, 2025.
Aransas Pass — The Aransas Pass City Council reconvened from executive session and voted to appoint Sal Hernandez as city secretary at an annual salary of $83,000 plus a $60 monthly phone allowance, effective Oct. 27, 2025.
The appointment followed deliberation in executive session under Texas Government Code Section 551.074 (personnel). The council announced reconvening in open session and immediately took the appointment vote; the transcript records a motion to approve Hernandez’s appointment, a second and the chair’s announcement, “Motion carries.” The transcript does not provide a roll-call vote tally or name the maker of the motion.
Why it matters: The city secretary is the city’s official records custodian and often serves as clerk to the council. The approved compensation and effective date were recorded in the motion presented in open session.
