Midcoast Community Council is an elected Municipal Advisory Council to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, representing unincorporated Montara, Moss Beach, El Granada, Princeton, and Miramar. The Council has seven members elected by Midcoast voters to four-year terms. Councilmembers serve without compensation and without staff.
The MCC was established in May 1991 by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors' Resolution 55042 and approved by Midcoast voters in November 1991 as specified by Resolution 55256 with the simultaneous election of the first seven councilmembers.

The county's design review standards update was tabled by the Board of Supervisors, while Connie Santilli reports progress on pushing CPUC to require telecom redundancy on the coast.
Why it matters: The MCC's letter supporting bird-safe design and lighting standards will get another hearing, and potential CPUC action could address persistent communication outages during emergencies on the coastside.

MCC's Multi-Stakeholder Meeting Plan Stalls as Harbor District Hosts Rival Session
After months of contract delays, the MCC's planned neutral-facilitator stakeholder meeting is complicated by a Harbor District-hosted meeting on April 16 that covers similar ground.
Why it matters: Overlapping projects by Caltrans, GCSD, the Harbor District, and the county affect parking, trails, and coastal access across El Granada; without neutral coordination, the MCC fears community interests will be marginalized by agencies with their own financial stakes.

Council Unanimously Supports Grant Bid Despite Public Pushback on Curb Extensions
The MCC approved 5-0 a letter supporting a TDA3 grant for sidewalks, a bike route, and ADA bus stop improvements on Main Street in Montara despite some public opposition to proposed curb extensions.
Why it matters: The project would fill a sidewalk gap, improve a non-ADA-compliant bus stop, and advance the long-planned parallel coastal trail, but community members worry curb extensions could create traffic pinch points on a key Highway 1 access road.

SAM Presents $13–14M Sewer Force Main Replacement; Council Opts Not to Comment on Neg Dec
The Sewer Authority Mid-Coastside presented its 14,000-foot pipeline replacement project along Highway 1, due by June 2027 under a consent decree, with construction starting this fall.
Why it matters: The 40-year-old ductile iron pipeline has already caused multiple sewage spills; the replacement will affect ratepayers across six communities and require coordination with concurrent Caltrans and Moss Beach projects.

Hazardous Waste Found at Cypress Point; Residents Fear Contamination Near Marine Reserve
An abandoned underground storage tank and asbestos pipes discovered at the Cypress Point housing site raise new environmental questions the MCC had flagged during its unsuccessful CEQA push.
Why it matters: The Board of Supervisors previously granted Cypress Point a CEQA exemption over MCC objections; these discoveries vindicate concerns that the site was never adequately evaluated for environmental hazards.

Coastside Gets Full-Time Supervisor Liaison; Measure K Future Unclear
Supervisor Mueller's office introduces David Cosgrave as new full-time coastside liaison while leaving open whether Measure K grant funding rounds will continue.
Why it matters: The unincorporated mid-coast has long felt underrepresented; a dedicated full-time liaison could improve responsiveness on land use, emergency management, and infrastructure issues.

Council Reports on RV Ordinance Gap, E-Bike Regulation, and Health Care Funding
Council members reported on meetings with Supervisor Mueller covering generators, e-bike ordinances, RV enforcement, age-friendly health care funding options, and the local hazard mitigation plan.
Why it matters: The unincorporated midcoast lacks RV and generator ordinances that neighboring cities have, leaving enforcement gaps that directly affect residents.

Council Authorizes Emergency Google Storage to Prevent April 3 Email Lockout
Facing an April 3 deadline to lose Gmail functionality, the council authorized up to $50/year for additional storage while investigating whether the issue is a payment method error.
Why it matters: The MCC's primary public communication channel would be disabled without action; resolving records retention policies will determine what can be archived or deleted long-term.
