San Marcos City Coucilmembers voted Tuesday to continue the city’s pause on terminating utility services and charging disconnect fees for nonpayment during the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to the coronavirus, the city council agreed to halt disconnections in March. In July, councilmembers approved extending the freeze on disconnects.
They also voted to have a special meeting the week of Dec. 8 to discuss the allocation of $2.67 million in general fund dollars as a result of the allocation of $3.65 million in CARES Act funding through the Texas Department of Emergency Management.
After spending much of the CARES funds on eligible medical, public health, payroll expenses and economic support expenses, TDEM recommended the remainder of the funds be allocated to the San Marcos Police Department and fire department payroll expenses, if no further programs would meet the specific program specifications within the tight timeline.
