Temp Staff Needed to Assist with PIRs


San Angelo's City Council voted to restrict citizen access to public information requests in its lone December 2022 meeting.  City leaders suggested additional staff would be required if Council did not approve limiting public information requests to 36 hours in the city's fiscal year.  Council voted 5-2 to implement the policy suggested by staff.

One month later the City is searching for temporary staff to assist with Public Information Requests.  The pay is $18 per hour.  Are any of the five "yes" voters on Council surprised by the timing of this temporary staff hire?  Nevertheless, it's not a good look.
