The San Marcos Parks and Recreation Advisory Board will review the City of San Marcos’ lease with the Lions Club Tube Rental, after concerns that the lease was not in the best interest of the citizens or the river.
The Lions Club has leased the property and run the tube rental since 2011 after voters passed a proposition for the allowance of the long-term lease in 2010, but the parks board members believe that the frequency with which it runs and the rate of rent may be unfavorable to the river's ecology and residents.
At a monthly rate of $900, the lease is up for renewal in April. The lease has historically been signed in five-year increments, however, the parks board will consider shortening the next lease term, while they consider and potentially prepare to put the contract out for competitive bid.
