An addendum was added to Wednesday's called city council meeting and according to the agenda, council members will tackle paying severance benefits to City Manager Spencer Cronk.
Sources say the decision was made unanimously in executive session on February 8. Right now it's not clear if Cronk is to be fired or if he will step down.Right now, city manager Cronk still has a job, but it will soon be decided whether he will resign or if the city will fire him.
"However, since the posting of these Saturday night addendum items relate to my employment and severance benefits, I will simply reiterate that I remain Austin’s City Manager and no actions have been taken by this new Mayor and Council to change my responsibilities or role. I continue to be focused on serving this community and leading our dedicated workforce."
"The safety of our residents, businesses, employees, and visitors has – for me – always been paramount. The final tentative four-year agreement that was reached yesterday is centered on my professional management experience of how best to keep our community safe - and that remains the sole driving factor for pursuing a four-year contract."
"My obligation, one of many as the City Manager, is to ensure the safety of all of our residents. Moving forward on a four-year contract provides greater assurance that the safety of our residents remains intact. Chief Chacon and I have serious concerns that our police staffing levels will be compromised if a one-year contract is pursued. Additionally, I am concerned about the financial impact to the City’s general fund.
"I look forward to the continued conversation with our Council, our community and the dedicated men and women of the Austin Police Department who serve our community every day."that I have read and agree
