The San Marcos City Council has a full agenda at its regularly scheduled meeting set for 6 p.m. today, including considering amendments to the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Policy, that allows for assistance with a lower percentage of income used for housing. The council is also set to discuss a single- use beverage container ban and cooler size limitation for riverfront parks, as well as consider $2 million dollar purchase of 108 work vehicles for various city departments and consider provision of American Rescue Plan Act funding for various entities.
The council will consider amendments to the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Policy section of the Affordable/Workforce Housing Policy. Currently, to qualify a person must pay 30 percent of the median income on housing, and the change would make the requirement 15 to 25 percent of income on housing to qualify for the tax credit.
The council is set to hold discussion regarding the Parks and Recreation Board recommendation to create a single-use beverage container ban and cooler size limitation per person within the city’s riverfront parks. The board recommends the adoption of the restrictions only become effective after a specific enforcement plan and funding source for that plan are adopted and direction is provided to the City Manager.
