Council considers shutdown despite governor s order

Wednesday, January 20, 2021 The San Marcos City Council voted to consider shutting down more of San Marcos at the next city council meeting, despite Gov. Greg Abbott’s Order prohibiting cities from creating any orders more strict than his own.  A majority of councilmembers voted to put an item on the Feb. 2 city council meeting, discussing a city ordinance either by the emergency order of the city council or an executive order of the mayor to close down more of San Marcos in an attempt to stop further spread of COVID-19. They also voted to write a letter to Abbott expressing regional support of localized power to shutdown.

City Council discusses potential COVID-19 restrictions

The San Marcos City Council considered imposing new COVID-19 limitations, which could possibly challenge Texas Gov. Greg Abbott s state orders, at its Jan. 19 meeting.  Council member Maxfield Baker proposed the possibility of a city ordinance that would aid in implementing additional COVID-19 restrictions. While Baker s suggestion was met with mixed agreements throughout the council, some members agreed passing the ordinance would be worth going against the governor s orders.  COVID is so serious, and I have known so many people that have passed, Council member Saul Gonzales says. If it gets any worse, I think we as a city body we got to do what we have to do to protect our citizens even though we might be going against the governor.
