• <br /> Am" <br /> To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> FROM: Stephanie Reyes, City Manager <br /> DATE: September 12, 2025 <br /> RE: Additional Information Regarding Proposed Special Events Fees <br /> At the June 26 Budget Workshop, staff presented proposed special events fees to be <br /> implemented during the 2025-2026 Fiscal Year. This Tuesday, Council will consider voting <br /> on the proposed budget, and this memo provides additional information related to those <br /> proposed fees. <br /> We recognize that many community events require a permit and that the events provide our <br /> community an opportunity to gather together to support a cause, build community pride, and <br /> celebrate the culture and character that make San Marcos unique. The Special Events <br /> Coordinator position was created to assist our community through the special events permit <br /> process and underscore the importance of communication between event organizers, City <br /> staff, and the public. <br /> Staff stated we would bring forward associated fees when the Special Events Ordinance was <br /> approved in Spring 2024. These fees will be added to the fee schedule to be reviewed every <br /> three years. The proposed fees will generate revenue that will go into the General Fund, <br /> which funds many of the areas directly related to processing and reviewing Special Event <br /> permit applications. <br /> The proposed special events fees are: <br /> om <br /> Special Event Fee New $35 For a single day public event of over 500 people, <br /> (Tier 1) includes services such as review of emergency action <br /> plans, barricade rentals, and traffic control plans <br /> Special Event Fee New $85 For a multi-day public event of over 500 people, <br /> (Tier 2) includes services such as review of emergency action <br /> plans, barricade rentals, and traffic control plans <br /> MIMI 11 <br /> NMI' <br />
