City & SAPOA Collective Bargaining February 20, 2026

This was a collective bargaining negotiation meeting held on February 20, 2026, between the City of San Antonio and the San Antonio Police Officers Association. The discussion focused heavily on compensation comparisons with other Texas cities, including base pay, incentive pay, benefits, and pension costs, supported by a detailed PFM report. The city presented a counterproposal to the union's wage increase request, offering an 8.5% raise over three years in response to the union's 9% proposal. Other key procurement-related topics included discussions on labor relations committee authority, police equipment specifications, educational incentive pay, and tuition reimbursement policies. Several articles were tentatively agreed upon, and working groups were proposed to address outstanding operational and compensation issues. The next negotiation session was tentatively scheduled for March 26, 2026.
