San Marcos police officers may now be able to decide if you are making too much noise. Drew Surprenant has more in this Bobcat Update.
The San Marcos City Council is reviewing a proposed noise control ordinance that could be in effect in the next couple of weeks. If enacted, police officers would be able to define what is unreasonable noise. They will also be determing what is an unruly gathering. A police-drafted ordinance was tabled at a city council meeting in February. An upcoming forum will address the issue again. Student Liaison Chris Covo says the March third forum will provide students with an opportunity to get involved.

People who violate the proposed ordinance would receive citations, and property owners would be responsible for the actions of their guests.

San Marcos officials are trying to get students on board with the changes. The ordinance is 85 percent of the old version but new provisions have been added. San Marcos communications director Melissa Millecam says students should participate.

Information gathered from the student forum will be considered by the city council, but a final vote has not yet been scheduled. For Bobcat Update, I'm Drew Surprenant.
