City Manager Spencer Cronk continues to support a four-year agreement with the Austin Police Association, setting the stage for Austin City Council to fire him on Wednesday.
PUBLISHED 9:36 AM CST Feb. 13, 2023AUSTIN, Texas —
That action — and its timing — infuriated council members who had placed a resolution on last Thursday’s council agenda to reduce the police contract from four years to one. Council Member José "Chito" Vela drafted the resolution, with support from Mayor Kirk Watson, in deference to two ballot measures that will go to Austin voters in May to increase civilian oversight of the police.
Members of the City Council intended to cut the term of the police contract to a year to give Austin voters a chance to weigh in on civilian oversight Cronk offered no apologies for his actions in a statement posted Saturday night, right after a discussion of his potential severance package was added to the council agenda. The only other item on the agenda is the discussion of the one-year contract extension.
