Giddings council adopts employment agreement with Guillermo Garcia; minutes note a severance resolution numbering inconsistency
Summary
The Giddings City Council on June 23 adopted Resolution No. 635-2026 authorizing the mayor to execute a City Manager Employment Agreement with Guillermo Garcia. The minutes also record consideration of a related severance resolution; the document contains an internal numbering discrepancy that the minutes themselves note.
The Giddings City Council adopted a resolution on June 23 authorizing Mayor Pro-Tem Alan Casey to execute a City Manager Employment Agreement with Guillermo Garcia.
The motion to adopt Resolution No. 635-2026 was made by Council Member Jacob Janda and seconded by Mark Muniz; the minutes record the vote as Ayes: Casey, Janda, Muniz, Rinn and Nays: None.
Council had met in executive session under Texas Government Code §551.071 (consultation with the city attorney) and §551.074 (personnel matters) to discuss legal issues related to public alley rights-of-way and to discuss the proposed employment and severance agreements with Guillermo Garcia; Mayor Pro-Tem Casey stated the council reconvened at 8:28 p.m. and that no final action was taken during the executive session.
The minutes also record consideration of a severance-agreement resolution described as Resolution No. 636-2026. In the motion text that follows, the minutes repeat language and a resolution number previously used for the employment agreement (635-2026), creating an internal inconsistency in the minutes. The document records that the motion carried; the minutes do not clarify whether the repetition reflects a typographical error in the motion text or a different administrative step. The minutes do not provide the severance agreement's terms or effective dates.
The council adjourned at 8:33 p.m.
