San Marcos and Martindale each approved an extra-territorial jurisdiction agreement, allowing specific areas to be released by each city from its previously claimed ETJ and establishes payments to be made by San Marcos.
The San Marcos City Council unanimously approved the agreement during Tuesday’s meeting, while the Martindale City Council approved it during its Jan. 21 meeting.
“I’m happy to report that we have approved our agreement with the City of Martindale regarding realigning their ETJ line, allowing us to annex all of the San Marcos Air, Rail and Truck SMART Terminal with a creative agreement that provides benefits for both sides,” San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson said. “I’d like to thank (Martindale) Mayor Rob Deviney for his help in getting this done, the Martindale City Council, their administrator, their city attorney. I would also like to thank the staff in our legal department, planning department, our GIS people, our city manager, assistant city managers and everyone in the City of San Marcos, including our city council, for doing what was needed to make this agreement happen.”
