CITY OF SAN MARCOS
The city of San Marcos is introducing a new way for residents to help shape the Fiscal Year 2026 budget with Polco’s Balancing Act, a suite of interactive tools that allow the community to explore budget allocations, adjust spending priorities and provide direct input on financial decisions.
“One of our primary responsibilities is to build a balanced budget that truly reflects the evolving priorities of our community and its diverse needs,” San Marcos City Manager Stephanie Reyes said. “We take financial stewardship seriously, and we’re embracing innovative solutions to foster greater community inclusion in our budgeting process. This tool was sought as part of our commitment to transparency and collaborative decision-making, allowing residents to directly contribute their insights and ensure that our spending decisions are aligned with their needs, creating a more responsive and inclusive government.”
