Council postpones decision on revised Animal Ordinance

San Marcos City Council postponed a decision on the revised Animal Ordinance for the second meeting in a row.

After nearly an hour of discussion, council members voted 4-1 on Tuesday to postpone a decision on Ordinance 2022-96 until the first meeting in January, citing several unanswered questions and concerns.

“This is one of the largest ordinances I’ve seen since being involved. It’s very complicated, and there’s a lot in there,” Councilmember Mark Gleason said. “I’m not denigrating the work that’s gone into this, and ultimately, I’m going to end up supporting something here, right? It’s just [that] there’s a lot of nuances in here.”
