If built, the campus would be within sight of San Marcos High School. But before that can happen, voters have to approve annexation into ACC's tax district.

"Annexation has to pass for anything to actually happen, any money to change hands," ACC Finance and Administration Vice President Ben Ferrell said.

This isn't the first time San Marcos citizens have attempted to put ACC annexation to a vote. In 2005-06, a petition was circulated and certified.

Later, dozens of people, whose names appeared on the petition, filed affidavits with the county swearing they never signed. At that point, the election was canceled. No charges were ever filed in the case.

People opposed to the annexation effort said there are still hard feelings among San Marcos residents about that petition drive, but that's not entirely why they oppose the initiative this time around. They say they want to keep tax dollars in San Marcos to help public schools and improve the education that students here are already getting.

Miguel Arredondo, co-chair of San Marcos ACCess, the group spearheading the annexation effort, said the group didn't have anything to do with the previous petition controversy.

"Our biggest deterrent as to what happened the last time around was making sure that San Marcos ACCess was run by San Marcos residents," he said.

Arredondo said this time around San Marcos ACCess did not hire a third party to conduct the petition drive and had the signatures certified locally. Now it will be up to voters to decide if a campus will be built.
