VIDEO. From the Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside (SAM) meeting on Monday, September 9th, 2024 at 7:00pm, as a hybrid meeting.
Staff Report for Agenda Item 4B. Authorize General Manager to Issue a Change Order to Global Diving & Salvage for Excavating and Repairing the Damaged Outfall Diffusers in an Amount Not to Exceed $79,931.
The discharge of treated wastewater from SAM to the Pacific Ocean is through a discharge pipe and a submerged, multi-port diffuser located west of Pilarcitos Creek approximately 1,900 feet offshore. The discharge pipe lies on ballast rock on the sea floor approximately 37 feet below mean lower low water and is covered with sand much of the year due to seasonal sand drift. The final 238 feet of the outfall is a muti-port diffuser fitted with thirty-five (35) 6” rubber duck bill valves, approximately 7 feet apart, that discharge vertically approximately 2 feet above the ocean floor.

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.
