San Marcos council approves Cotton Center land release, library appointment and economic board nominations; meets in executive session
Summary
The council unanimously approved a mutual termination and release of about 1,786 acres related to the Cotton Center development, appointed David Morgan to the library board, confirmed nominees for the Hayes Caldwell Economic Development Partnership board, met in executive session on economic incentives and a lease, and adjourned at 9:12 p.m.
The San Marcos City Council on Nov. 5 approved several non-labor items including a land‑use action, appointments and nominations, then convened an executive session on economic development and a real‑property lease.
Council approved a resolution to mutually terminate an amendment and reinstate certain agreements so that approximately 1,786 acres in Caldwell County would be released from the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction as part of the Cotton Center development agreement; the motion passed 7–0. Council then considered appointments: after nominations and brief discussion the council appointed David Morgan to fill a vacancy on the library board.
The council also reviewed nominations for a representative and a staff member to serve on the Hayes Caldwell Economic Development Partnership board. The council confirmed the slate including a staff nomination (Assistant City Manager Rodney Gonzales was nominated) and recorded the vote as passing.
Later in the meeting council convened an executive session under Texas Government Code sections addressing economic development, consultation with the city attorney, and real property to deliberate incentives and a lease (noted projects included 'Project Shirley Temple' and 'Project Primrose' and a lease for property at 201 South LBJ Drive). The meeting returned from executive session at 9:09 p.m.; staff reported the tenant had requested to renew the lease, but no public action on the lease was taken before the council adjourned at 9:12 p.m.
Votes recorded in the transcript show unanimous approval (7–0) on the Cotton Center land release and the police matter earlier in the evening; other items were passed by voice vote as shown in the record.
