VIDEO. From the Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside (SAM) meeting on Monday, August 12th, 2024 at 7:00pm, as a hybrid meeting.
Background and Discussion/Report
Staff prepared a Proposed 5-Year Infrastructure Plan (Plan) for the period 2024-2029.
The Plan was prepared by Staff primarily to meet the following goals:
- Respond to regulatory and safety concerns
- Maintain and replace existing aging assets
- Protect public health and environment
- Embrace a policy of sustainability for the responsible use of existing resources
Staff categorized the projects into three priority levels listed from most to least critical for
implementation. This is a Rolling Plan and can be updated each year as it progresses.
The proposed Plan has been attached for discussion.
Staff discussed with Member Agency Managers and Engineers on July 19, 2024, and
there were minor comments. These have been incorporated in the Proposed
Infrastructure Plan.
The Board has two options:
- Approve as it is
- Send it to Member Agencies for discussions at their board/council and bring it
back to the board later
Discuss Proposed 5-Year Infrastructure Plan

SAM Directors
SAM is a joint powers authority (JPA) created by its three member agencies: City of Half Moon Bay (City), Granada Community Services District (GCSD), and the Montara Water and Sanitary District (MWSD).
The JPA is a separate, independent, public agency created by the member agencies to perform functions and share powers common to the member agencies. Those powers are outlined in a joint exercise of powers agreement (Agreement). The Agreement creating SAM can be found on the Documents page.
Each Agreement identifies how the independent agency will be governed. In the case of SAM, each member agency appoints two members from its governing board to represent it on the SAM Board of Directors, for a total of six directors.
The Agreement also establishes the weight of each director’s vote. The vote by each representatives from the City is given the weight of two votes. The vote by each representative from GCSD and MWSD is given the weight of one vote. The total number of possible votes is eight. A quorum is a minimum of five votes and resolutions require at least six votes to pass.
