Mayor Susan Narvaiz announced that San Marcos will be hosting the 2009 Hog Rally, and 13,000 people will be coming into our community, using our new host hotel and spending lots of money. She reported that the City has been talking about conservation and energy alternatives, and local private industry is also trying to share the word with their customers while the city is having its dialog on this subject. She gave kudos to Kim Porterfield who was a presenter at the Best Practices conference. Kim received great ratings and has been asked to come back. Another important meeting was the Graffiti Cleanup Initiative last week, and there will be a larger community meeting next week. The goal is to launch the program by the 1St of August. She also reported that she attended an important HCPUA meeting, and they will be ramping up to secure future water sources. She also worked at the Habitat house this past Saturday, and she encouraged everyone to participate in this worthy endeavor to bring home ownership to people who cannot do it on their own.
