The San Marcos City Council is set to discuss its extra-territorial boundary with Martindale and possible payments made to the neighboring city on Tuesday.
The council will consider possible action on an agreement which, “specifies areas to released by each city from its previously claimed (extra-territorial jurisdiction) and provides for payments to be made by the City of San Marcos to Martindale over the next 30 years from tax revenues derived from 161 acres of land within the (San Marcos Air, Rail and Truck). terminal project that Martindale is releasing from its ETJ under this agreement to allow annexation by San Marcos.”
The agreement will discuss ETJ matters regarding a 1983 disagreement, where Martindale expanded its ETJ to include an Ohnheiser Property. The City of San Marcos disputed that Martindale’s ETJ shouldn’t include the Ohnheiser Property, while Martindale disputed San Marcos’ assertions. According to the agreement, “San Marcos states, represents, and agrees that the 1983 resolution is valid, and that San Marcos has no legitimate basis to challenge the same.” San Marcos will also discharge Martindale from any and all claims to the Ohnheiser Property.
