“To me one of the great strengths of San Marcos has been the citizen involvement. Ordinary citizens have been invited and encouraged to participate in the decision-making process of government. The planning of both current projects and future of San Marcos have had strong and effective input from citizen committees ranging from traffic issues, the planning and design of parks and trails, to the design groundwork for the future downtown of San Marcos." - Kathleen Kildoo, Community Services Commission Chair
