City & SAPOA Collective Bargaining June 25, 2026

This was a collective bargaining session held on June 25, 2026, between the City of San Antonio and the San Antonio Police Officers Association (SAPOA). The meeting focused on negotiating terms for a new three-year contract, with discussions covering compensation, operational changes, and health benefits. Key procurement-related topics included proposed wage increases totaling approximately $92.8 million over three years, incentive pay adjustments, and health care cost-sharing measures. The city proposed a 13% wage increase over three years with specific percentage increases each fiscal year, adjustments to Field Training Officer (FTO) pay, and new premium contributions for dependent health coverage starting in 2028. The city also introduced a health care savings sharing plan to incentivize cost management. Several articles were tentatively agreed upon, including hours of work and certification pay, while others like wages and health benefits remained under negotiation. The parties agreed to extensions and scheduled a follow-up meeting for July 9, 2026, to continue discussions and finalize outstanding contract terms.
