San Marcos to test parking meters on business district
San Marcos proposes a six month trial of parking meters after the Karpark cancellation. The city commission will seek bids and hold an election by the end of the trial to decide if meters stay. A petition with over 300 names opposed the plan, but officials say a vote will determine the outcome. The same meeting approved bids on vendor lien notes totaling 10 500 to refinance the Memorial Park site.
