One city council race has been decided in San Marcos; another is still up in the air.  Incumbent John Thomaides was reelected yesterday defeating Monica Garcia and Anita Fuller.  However, another city council race has yet to be determined.   Ryan Thomason is three votes shy of the 50 percent he needs to be declared the victor.  A recount is expected, and if that doesn't change the outcome, a runoff will be necessary.  Of his opponents in the race, the top vote-getter was Lisa Marie Coppoletta.  County officials say only seven percent of the eligible voters turned out for yesterday's election.
