The council cited Texas Government Code \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000sections 551.087 (economic development negotiations), 551.072 (purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property), and 551.071 (consultation with attorney regarding pending or contemplated litigation) as the legal authority for the closed session.

The session began at approximately 9:25 a.m. The public portion of the meeting resumed at 9:42 a.m., at which point the clerk stated that no action was taken during the executive session.

Why it matters: executive sessions allow the council to receive privileged briefings and to discuss bargaining positions, property deals and litigation strategy away from the public record; the explicit citation of code sections signals topics under consideration but does not disclose details of deliberations.

What was approved: the council moved and seconded approval of the consent agenda, excluding items 13 and 14; the mayor pro tem confirmed the motion passed on the record. Councilmember discussion and public comment addressed item 16, which the materials describe as a VIA employee pass program.

Public comment and council response: resident Jack Finger told the council he was concerned that VIA employees were being given free rides at taxpayer expense and cited specific income thresholds mentioned in the backup materials. A councilmember (unnamed in the transcript) thanked city staff for the initiative and said the council should monitor the program through the appropriate committee and that staff should return with usage information. \"Es una buena iniciativa... Quiero asegurarnos que estamos monitoreando esto dentro del comité,\" the councilmember said.

Why it matters: the program changes the distribution of transit benefits to employees and raises questions about oversight and public cost. The consent-approved status means the program was carried forward as part of the overall consent package after the council removed two items for separate review.

Record and next steps: the consent agenda vote to approve items 4\u0000\u0000to 43, excluding items 13 and 14, is recorded as passed in the meeting transcript. Council members requested monitoring and committee follow-up on the VIA employee pass program; the transcript does not include later committee scheduling or program metrics.

","At the Jan. 16 San Antonio City Council meeting the consent agenda (items 4\u0000\u0000to 43) was approved with item 13 and 14 pulled; item 16, which implements free or reduced VIA transit passes for employees, was highlighted in discussion and council members said they will monitor the program.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":42,"_43":89,"_45":89,"_46":90,"_48":91,"_50":92,"_52":93,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":94,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":95,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6672610,"Council reviews $1 million in short-term immunization agreements as resident raises conflict-of-interest concerns",487545,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2121784-b4eaeaf62b384160bb4674bbc647a151&start=487&end=487","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2121784-b4eaeaf62b384160bb4674bbc647a151/thumbnail_487545.jpg","/articles/6672610/San-Antonio/Bexar-County/Texas/Council-reviews-1-million-in-short-term-immunization-agreements-as-resident-raises-conflict-of-interest-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6672610-c7a5b681e26821785f9fb4a6dd0d465d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448627&Signature=XVTA~eUROvci2AQAoQvWJ604irYWJQdyVb0tQYMuseklX2o18Xx~BSxjv31ZZmmnFlchm5npyUSkxyAXAxix-p73MHCtab-e6grVc0rR~lDKWQycWAIiVqAlj5XV5S06mg8BoW3M2Si2JyG8ufnnm4oBrDpYS43QFKzaNF4l2x6R3fvOskeuBXRSQdaJuuAt7a3vEyXknDPWQy5Boou0xJp1phro7pMBntklUrXrLqIyO7XZ8P3StcBT0O3XUxBXSpIpxmdXFFVEiR9sCxVsS-5DlcoIJ-Z3-NMLOrmny--vpLG72A9hBqR-8K78fT0gosVCZpUDuaLz1fmwTz842A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","SAN ANTONIO \u0000Jan. 16, 2025 \u0000— City Council members on Thursday reviewed an ordinance that would authorize one-year agreements worth $100,000 each with a set of local organizations to provide immunization services and vaccine education through the metropolitan health district.

The ordinance as read on the dais lists ADMT Soluciones LLC; Alamo Home Health Inc., dba Touchtone Health; Bate Age Collision Trust; Coirageus Creativity; Dunn Well, LLC; Parenting Plus (listed as Parenting Plus in the agenda packet); Stability Staffing and Consulting LLC; the Immunization Society (translation/recording: \"la inmunizaci\u0007n, la sociedad de inmunizaci\u0007n\"); The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio; and the Young Women\u0007s Christian Association of San Antonio. Each agreement is described in the ordinance as $100,000 and the ordinance notes an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 for the period Dec. 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, for immunization and vaccine services for children.

Why it matters: the agreements would allocate a six-month funding window to multiple community providers for vaccines and vaccine education targeted at children, and the total package represents a concentrated short-term investment that affects public-health outreach and contract administration.

During the council meeting, a public commenter, Jack Finger, urged elected officials to abstain from the vote, saying several listed organizations had made campaign contributions to council members and implying that those relationships warranted recusal. \"Ustedes deberían de abstenerse en este...\" he told the council, naming specific contribution amounts he said appeared in the backup materials. The speaker urged transparency and abstentions where campaign contributions exist.

Council procedure and record: Councilmember Castillo removed a related consent item earlier in the meeting so it could be heard individually. The ordinance was read aloud and a motion and second were called for discussion and vote. The transcript records a roll-call-style note that \"la concejal Castillo está no votando,\" but the final tally or formal adoption outcome for this specific ordinance is not specified in the available record.

What the record does and does not show: the ordinance text and the list of proposed contractors and dollar amounts appear in the meeting materials and were read on the record. The public comment raising potential conflicts and urging abstentions is recorded verbatim. The transcript does not include a complete vote tally or a clear statement that the ordinance was approved or defeated.

Next steps: the council handled other consent items and proceeded to an executive session later in the meeting; no additional action on this item is recorded in the transcript provided.
