Council adopts police and fire classification ordinances required by state law
Summary
By unanimous vote the council adopted ordinances setting classifications and headcounts for the fire and police departments, citing Chapter 143 of the Texas Local Government Code; staff said no new budget allocation was needed.
The council approved ordinances formally establishing classifications and headcounts for the fire and police departments, a procedural requirement under Chapter 143 of the Texas Local Government Code. HR staff (speaker 6) said the ordinances match current classifications and headcounts already budgeted for the fiscal year; future headcount increases will come through the budget process.
The vote on the fire department ordinance passed 6–0, followed by the police department ordinance, which also passed unanimously. "Chapter 143 of the Texas local government code says that the city council has to pass an ordinance to approve the classifications and head counts for our police and fire departments," the HR director noted during the presentation.
