Five city council members have filed for a special meeting Friday to discuss a ballot initiative for firefighters to receive equal pay to police officers.
Greg Travis, Michael Kubosh, Brenda Stardig, Dwight Boykins and Martha Castex-Tatum all filed the notice for a special meeting to be held at 10 a.m. on Friday.
In Houston's strong-mayor system, Mayor Sylvester Turner alone has the authority to put items on the city council's agenda, except in instances like this, where at least three members file for a special meeting.
That filing, which was first reported by the Houston Chronicle, puts one item on the agenda: the firefighter petition.
