San Antonio council reappoints members to SA Energy acquisition board amid questions over mayoral seat
San Antonio City Council on Feb. 6, 2025, approved a resolution reappointing members to the SA Energy Acquisition Public Facility Corporation board for terms beginning Feb. 1, 2025, and ending Jan. 31, 2027. The resolution names the mayor among the board's members; councilors and a member of the public asked for clarity on how the seat would be filled if a new mayor took office during the term.

The question of succession was raised during public comment and by councilors prior to the vote. A member of the public, identified in the record as Jack Finger, asked the council to clarify language in the resolution so residents would understand who occupies the mayoral seat on the board if the mayor leaves office before the listed term ends.

Councilors and staff responded that state or municipal law requires the mayor to hold that seat on the corporation and that, if a mayor leaves midterm, the council would return with a subsequent resolution to appoint a replacement. Councilor Courich seconded the motion to approve the resolution; the council voted to pass the item as part of the consent agenda. No roll-call tally with individual yes/no votes was recorded in the public transcript.

Councilors also discussed transparency concerns raised previously by residents about subcommittee meetings related to CPS Energy and related public oversight. Several councilors asked that the public be able to see deliberations when appropriate and that confidentiality be preserved only where legally required.

The council approved the reappointments by voice vote as part of the consent agenda. The resolution lists named individuals and the Feb. 1, 2025–Jan. 31, 2027 term dates; the transcript includes the resolution text but does not provide a recorded roll-call vote in the excerpt.

The council moved on to other consent items after the vote and later recessed to an executive session at 9:57 a.m.
