The Ingleside City Council held a special meeting on Tuesday regarding the alleged altering of a public meeting by City Manager Brenton Lewis.
Following the nearly 90-minute executive session, the council voted in favor of issuing Lewis a letter of reprimand for violating Personnel Policies and Procedures Section 13G under “Prohibited Activities.” However, no members of the council specified the exact activities committed by Lewis that warranted the issuing of the letter.
As 6 Investigates found, Lewis had communications with the city’s former IT coordinator in July 2023. These communications show Lewis requesting that the IT coordinator remove the audio of a public meeting in one specific area. This action could potentially violate the Texas Penal Code and the Public Information Act.
KRIS 6“This council takes possible violations very seriously,” Council Member Julio Salinas said ahead of the vote. “This sets the pace for any further policy violations that come to this council.”
