San Marcos civics club urges council to advance tenants bill of rights and community outreach
Summary
Maxfield Baker, founder of the San Marcos Civics Club, told council the organization is circulating a petition and flyer urging the city to implement a tenants bill of rights and to conduct robust outreach and education.
Maxfield Baker, founder of the San Marcos Civics Club, used the citizen comment period on March 18 to urge the City Council to continue moving forward on a tenants bill of rights and to prioritize community outreach and education.
Baker said the civics club has produced a flyer and started a petition for San Marcos residents to support the tenants bill of rights. He said the club appreciates that council incorporated the tenants effort into its strategic initiatives and asked the city to ensure robust outreach and education about what the tenants bill of rights would mean in practice. "We are continuing to push for our tenants bill of rights," Baker said.
Baker also said the civics club is organizing community resources to help residents engage on other local issues, including concerns he said are circulating about data centers and water. He described a "how to be an activist" guide the club has posted and invited residents to check the club's online materials and petition.
Ending: Baker thanked council and staff for past meetings and said the civic group will continue to organize and provide resources to residents interested in tenant protections and other local issues.
