>> GOOD MORNING. THE TIME IS NOW 10O504 ON FEBRUARY 23RD, 2026. THIS SPECIAL SESSION IS CALLED TO ORDER. MADAM CLERK, CAN YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL? SO MUCH. I WILL SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TODAY. ON NOVEMBER 9TH A CODE OF CONDUCT COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE INVESTIGATION IS NOW COMPLETE. TODAY WE WILL MEET IN EXECUTIVE SESSION TO FIND OUT THE DETERMINATION OF THE INVESTIGATION AND BASED ON TODAY'S MEETING AND THE INVESTIGATION IF THE CITY COUNCIL REQUESTS A CENSURE OF THE MAYOR, THAT WILL BE NO LATER THAN THIS FEBRUARY, FEBRUARY 27TH AND THAT WILL BE POSTED ALONGSIDE THE AGENDA ITEM.
THE TIME IS NOW 10:05 A.M. AND THE COUNCIL WILL MEET WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY UNDER TEXAS
>> MCKEE-RODRIGUEZ: WELCOME BACK. THTHE TIME IS NOW 12:21 P.M.
FOLLOWING TODAY'S SPECIAL SESSION WE ARE REQUESTING A SPECIAL MEETING TAKE PLACE ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27 TO TAKE POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE CENSURE OF MAYOR JONES.
THE QUESTION POSED WAS CAN MAYOR JONES LEAD WITHOUT COUNCIL SUPPORT? THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE OF SUPPORT. ONE THING IS CLEAR IS THAT WE EACH LOVE THIS CITY VERY MUCH AND WE WILL NOT ALWAYS AGREE ON WHAT IS BEST FOR THE CITY AND HOW WE GET THERE BUT WE HAVE A DUTY TO MAINTAIN A WORK ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE WITH THAT ENVIRONMENT AND TREAT EACH ONE WITH RESPECT.
WHEN THAT IS NOT THE CASE, ONE OF THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO US IS CENSURE.
REGARDLESS OF TODAY'S MEETING OR THE SPECIAL SESSION THAT WILL FOLLOW, WE ALL WANT A PATH FORWARD THAT ALLOWS US TO WORK TOGETHER FOR THE BETTERMENT OF OUR CITY AND IMPLORE US TO REMEMBER WHY WE WERE ELECTED BY OUR CONSTITUENTS.
THAT BEING SAID, THE TIME IS NOW 12:22 P.M. AND THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
