SAN MARCOS CITY COUNCIL
Five Mile Dam and the attached soccer fields and park areas, which are nestled on the outskirts of town right before the Kyle city line, have been a recreational haven for San Marcans since 1931 and will now officially be owned by the city. The San Marcos City Council voted five to zero with two absent to approve a sales contract for the purchase of Five Mile Dam Park property from Hays County for only half of the closing expenses at the regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday.
San Marcos City Manager Stephanie Reyes said that ownership of the soccer fields has been discussed for years. An inspection will be done on the dam, and the county has agreed to share costs with the city to ensure that it is being turned over in good condition.
