City Council approved this Ordinance on the 1st of 2 readings on October 7 without amendment.
This will be the 2nd and final reading of the Ordiannce.
The Core 4 (City of San Marcos, Texas State University, San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District, and Hays County) held a meeting on March of this year and it was decided that a Core 4 Task Force would be created which consisted of appointees from each jurisdiction. With the creation of the Core 4 Taskforce, the Core 4 discussed and agreed that the San Marcos Commission on Children and Youth (SMCCY) and the San Marcos Youth Commission (SMYC) should be dissolved due to the Taskforce and the two boards serving the same function.
The Core 4 Task Force would additionally have a subsidiary taskforce known as the Youth Taskforce. Both of these bodies will be advisory in nature to the Core 4 and will work directly with Community Action Inc. and the new Youth Services director on Youth Master Plan implementation.
