City of San Marcos City Council Meeting | Tuesday, October 27, 2026

The City of San Marcos City Council held its regular meeting on October 27, 2026. The council issued proclamations recognizing Veterans Day, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Filipino American History Month, and the local team that won the 2026 Food Network Halloween Wars. Presentations also covered the Chamber of Commerce’s Holly Jolly Market and a visit to In Motion Events, a local race and event-management company. During the SANDAG report, the mayor noted a call for projects under specialized grant programs and funding recommendations for flexible, on-demand transportation services, including possible expansion to Fallbrook and Solana Beach; no funding amounts or San Marcos spending decisions were stated. A North County Transit report described a planned public hearing on an ordinance change that could allow alcohol at certain ticketed special events, with the aim of at least breaking even.

The council approved the consent calendar by motion, but the transcript does not identify its items. No contract awards, vendor selections, bids, or specific procurement approvals were identified. Public comment concerned a property-access easement dispute and litigation involving a developer; no council action on that matter was recorded. The event-management business visit included discussion of rising municipal permit costs, but no procurement decision followed.
