San Mateo County supervisors are in for a packed Tuesday, with a proposed $23.5 million bump to a substance‑use treatment contract sharing the spotlight with new rules for e‑bikes, the latest Measure K oversight report and a formal sendoff for retiring County Superintendent Nancy Magee. The agenda lands as county leaders continue to juggle spending priorities for behavioral‑health and affordable‑housing programs backed by Measure K funds, so expect a mix of policy talk, ceremonial fare and public comment throughout the morning.

The meeting is scheduled for 9 AM tomorrow in the Board Chambers at 500 County Center, with options for remote participation, according to the County of San Mateo. The county teased the day’s highlights in a brief social post that flagged the retirement recognition for Nancy Magee, the Measure K report, the Our Common Ground contract amendment and the e‑bike ordinance, as shown in the County of San Mateo's X post.

Contract boost for treatment services

The board packet includes a resolution to authorize a third amendment to the county’s agreement with Our Common Ground, Inc., raising the amount to a not‑to‑exceed $23,538,644 for services through June 30, 2027, as outlined in the county’s board materials. The accompanying memo describes OCG’s mix of outpatient and residential care, including newly certified residential withdrawal‑management beds, and notes the provider’s bilingual, culturally tailored services across the county. County staff say the amendment adjusts payment methods and includes a limited pre‑pay to smooth a transition to fee‑for‑service billing, per the County board memo.

A retirement to honor Nancy Magee

The supervisors will also ratify a resolution honoring Nancy Magee, who announced her retirement effective Feb. 19 after a multi‑year tenure as San Mateo County Superintendent of Schools. Magee’s office highlighted initiatives including early‑grade literacy, behavioral‑health partnerships and environmental education, and the County Board of Education has appointed Deputy Superintendent Marco Chávez to serve as interim, as per the San Mateo County Office of Education.

Measure K report tracks where tax dollars went

The agenda asks the board to accept the Measure K Oversight Committee’s annual report for FY 2024‑25, according to the County of San Mateo. The Measure K site lays out impact stories and data showing investments in housing, behavioral‑health programs and parks, while the oversight committee’s role is to audit revenues and recommend performance metrics.

E‑bike rules head to the board

The board will also receive an introduction of an ordinance to add provisions related to “Electric Conveyance Devices” to Chapter 7.80 of the county ordinance code, with Supervisors Jackie Speier and Ray Mueller listed as sponsors. The item is being introduced with the reading waived, which can speed initial consideration and send the measure on for further review or a later adoption vote. For the full agenda and sponsors, see the county agenda packet. 

Tomorrow’s session blends ceremonial moments with concrete policy moves that will shape public‑health spending and how people get around unincorporated parts of the county. Residents tracking Measure K spending or the proposed e‑bike rules will find plenty to watch in the morning meeting.
