City & SAPOA Collective Bargaining June 12, 2026

This was a collective bargaining meeting between the City of San Antonio and the San Antonio Police Officers Association (SAPOA) held on June 12, 2026. The discussion focused primarily on contract proposals related to hours of work, health benefits, and field training officer (FTO) pay structures. Key procurement-related topics included the city's exploration of a direct primary care or city-sponsored clinic model for employees, which would require a formal procurement process with union involvement. The parties also discussed health plan design changes, including adjustments to deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, and the introduction of the Prudent RX prescription savings program to reduce costs. Additionally, the union proposed excluding coverage for non-emergent services at freestanding emergency rooms to control expenses. The city presented a proposal to restructure the FTO program with increased monthly pay incentives. Both sides agreed to review proposals further and continue negotiations, with a follow-up meeting scheduled for June 25, 2026.
