Both the police administration and the San Antonio Police Officers Association, the local union that provides legal counsel to officers, have a say in selecting the arbitrator. While the collective bargaining agreement prescribes that grievances must be resolved within a year of when the process began, extensions can be granted. โClearly, the current collective bargaining agreement limits the Chiefโs ability to appropriately discipline officers that deserve to be disciplined.

SAN ANTONIO โ Micro-hospitals are built in areas where thereโs a need but not a big enough demand for a traditional hospital. Baptist Health System is opening a micro-hospital called Baptist Emergency Hospital near Cupples Road and Highway 90. Micro-hospitals are good for minor emergencies, like if someone breaks a leg or if someone thinks they are having a heart attack. Stone said micro-hospitals are cheaper than full-service hospitals because theyโre not as large, and they arenโt set up to treat everything. The Baptist Health System micro-hospital will open by the end of the month.
