City waives plumbing fees after winter storm

The San Marcos City Council voted unanimously to grant a temporary waiver of permit fees for plumbing repairs to damages from last week’s winter storm. 

“We believe that is going to be very beneficial for our residents that are faced with some very unprecedented and very challenging repairs in businesses and homes,” City Manager Bert Lumbreras said. 

In other business, the councilmembers approved a resolution expressing support for exploring the possibility of establishing an Indigenous Cultures Center in collaboration with the Indigenous Cultures Institute. The motion passed 5-2 with Councilmembers Mark Gleason and Saul Gonzalez voting no.
