Verify vote threshold for Corpus Christi mayor removal
Context: Two special sessions (7/22 and 7/23) have both stalled at 'To Be Introduced' without a vote on Mayor Guajardo's removal, meaning the applicable procedure is still unresolved.
Recommended: Pull the city charter's removal-for-cause procedure now: the hearing can end anywhere from an Ethics Commission referral to outright removal, and each outcome carries a different vote threshold and due-process standard the council must satisfy before acting.
Request the ethics complaint against Corpus Christi mayor
Context: The item has appeared as 'To Be Introduced' at two consecutive special meetings (7/22 and 7/23) against Mayor Paulette Guajardo without any charges disclosed in the record.
Recommended: File a records request for the underlying complaint or referral that triggered this hearing — the matter record names only the range of possible outcomes, not the alleged misconduct behind them.
