The city of San Marcos and the San Marcos Police Officers’ Association are in new formal negotiations to discuss issues related to wages, hours of employment and other terms and conditions of employment, some of which have generated wide public involvement, for city police officers. These negotiations are in anticipation of the city and the SMPOA drafting an agreement for ratification that would be effective at least through 2025 and potentially longer.
At a special called 'meet and confer' meeting Thursday in the City Hall Conference Room, with the city and the SMPOA attending, City Manager Stephanie Reyes welcomed participants and called the meeting to order. Reyes was joined at the table by Linda Spacek, director of human resources and civil service, and San Marcos Chief of Police Stan Standridge.
Reyes said the meeting would only be a recap as opposed to one moving the participants into a more line item by line item agenda.
