San Antonio amends City Council code of conduct to discourage NDAs
On Sept. 18, the San Antonio City Council voted to amend the City Council code of conduct to discourage council members from signing nondisclosure agreements, or NDAs, in their official capacity.
Long story short: According to city documents, the amended language in the code of conduct requires the city attorney to provide yearly guidance to City Council on the legal risks associated with NDAs.
The change to the code of conduct adds language that strongly discourages council members from signing NDAs and requires them to inform the city attorney if they are asked to sign the agreements in their professional capacities.
The Olde English Tea Shoppe & Cafe brings the taste of Britain to North San Antonio
After leaving Manchester, England, for a work trip to Texas, Robb Kelly said he never looked back.
That was almost two decades ago—now, he’s a local practicing recovery specialist and owner of The Olde English Tea Shoppe & Cafe, an authentic British cafe and restaurant in North San Antonio.
Some context: “I really liked it here, so I stayed here,” Kelly said. “But I did miss the food. Going to restaurants in the area, they didn’t really do it right.”
So, Kelly thought it would be a good idea to open up a place of his own that was authentic and true to the British food he grew up enjoying in Northwest England.
On the menu: Classic British dishes are served at every meal, from the full English breakfast ($19.95) in the morning to entrees like Bangers and Mash ($18.95) in the afternoon, according to the menu.
