Marion council authorizes mayor to extend conditional offer for chief of police
Summary
The Marion City Council voted unanimously on April 14 to let Mayor Daniel Loyola make a conditional employment offer to Steven Huron for Chief of Police, with the hire contingent on a satisfactory background check; salary was discussed in executive session and not specified in open session.
The Marion City Council on April 14 authorized Mayor Daniel Loyola to make a conditional employment offer to Steven Huron to serve as the city’s Chief of Police, subject to satisfactory completion of a background check. The action followed a closed-session discussion of personnel and salary.
“Authorize the Mayor to make a conditional offer employment to Steven Huron to serve as Marion’s Chief of Police at the salary discussed in Executive Session to be subject to satisfactory completion of a background check,” Mayor Pro Tem Kerry Gutierrez motioned in open session; Councilmember Phil Karrer seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The motion text was read in open session after the council reconvened from executive session.
The council recessed into executive session at 6:01 p.m. under Chapter 551.074 of the Texas Government Code (personnel matters) and reconvened at 7:18 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 7:19 p.m.; the minutes of the special meeting were later approved on May 5, 2025. The salary amount discussed in executive session was not disclosed in the open record.
The next procedural step recorded in the meeting minutes is for the mayor to extend the conditional offer; a formal hiring action or public vote on final appointment was not recorded in the minutes provided and will depend on satisfactory completion of the referenced background check.
