Cibolo — The Cibolo City Council convened a special meeting Oct. 30, 2024, and moved into an executive session at 6:33 p.m. to consult with legal counsel and discuss personnel-related topics involving the city manager, including human resources, technology, document retention and division of responsibilities under the city charter. The council returned to open session at 9:56 p.m. with "No action taken," the transcript records.
The session was convened under Texas Government Code §551.071 (consultation with attorney) and §551.074 (personnel matters), the presiding speaker announced before the council left the dais. The meeting was livestreamed; the clerk provided instructions for submitting items for future meetings by email to Ms. Simmicks or Ms. Chapman or by calling 210-566-6111 before 5 p.m. on the meeting date.
During roll call the council noted that Mr. Benson was absent and that the mayor and Miss Sanchez Stevens were expected to arrive late. An invocation and the Pledge of Allegiance preceded the announcement that there were no public commenters present for the citizens-to-be-heard portion.
After the executive session, an attendee stated, "No action taken," indicating that the council did not adopt any formal measure or vote on the matters discussed in closed session. Shortly thereafter, a motion to adjourn was made by Councilman Hicks and seconded by Councilwoman Cunningham. The chair called the vote, heard "Aye," recorded no opposition and declared the meeting adjourned.
The recorded agenda items listed the topics for closed session as "city manager's duties in relation to human resources matters, technology matters, and related support, document retention, city charter division of responsibilities and related procedures." The transcript does not contain further detail about discussions that took place inside the executive session, consistent with the confidentiality of attorney consultations and personnel deliberations under state law.
The council did not announce any follow-up steps or public reports resulting from the closed-session discussion during the open meeting that followed. The clerk had previously advised members of the public how to submit items for future meetings; no public comments were received for this session.
The special meeting convened at 6:30 p.m. and was reported to have adjourned at 9:56 p.m.
