The broader issue revolving around Cape’s Dam has once again floated back into the San Marcos news, and the controversy is still hotter than a black inner tube drifting down the San Marcos River on a summer day. The city of San Marcos is set to consider proposals from companies to provide the city with a “feasibility study” for a budgeted amount of $670,000. San Marcos Parks and Recreation Director Jamie Lee Case repeatedly reminded board members in a recent meeting that it might not be the final total.
Since 2013, the city has attempted to amass solid, creditable information on Cape’s Dam after previous studies on the dam were challenged by members of the community. City councils and various boards have listened to and read reports from individual citizens, organized groups, official entities and authorities with scientific studies on whether to keep the dam or remove it.
