Votes at a glance: San Mateo County AAC — Feb. 9, 2026
Summary
The Agricultural Advisory Committee approved meeting minutes, voted to invite Midpen and POST to separate sessions on tenant policy, agendized a focused review of proposed bylaws changes for the next meeting, and tabled a retreat follow-up. A motion to keep bylaws unchanged failed.
Key formal actions from the San Mateo County Agricultural Advisory Committee meeting on Feb. 9, 2026:
- Minutes: The committee approved the Dec. 8, 2025 meeting minutes (motion by Cole Mazaraghi Sanistaccio) and, after an initial vote-count confusion, approved the Jan. 12, 2026 minutes (motion by Ryan Casey; county counsel clarified quorum and the minutes were accepted).
- Invitations: The AAC voted to invite Midpen (Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District) and POST to separate future meetings to explain leasing and tenant-selection policies; Crystal Shea and Peter Markey will help schedule dates.
- Bylaws: The committee read and discussed proposed procedural-rule amendments but did not adopt them. Members voted to agendize specific contested line items for the next meeting and asked staff and county counsel to produce annotated language with legal references. A competing motion to keep the bylaws as currently written (except for grammatical corrections) failed.
- Meeting location: Members debated trying the Half Moon Bay Library for the March meeting; rather than vote immediately they agreed to agendize the location decision for the next meeting so staff can confirm availability and ADA access.
- Retreat follow-up: Committee tabled the January retreat follow-up to the next meeting.
Next scheduled action items: staff to return annotated bylaws text and legal citations; Crystal Shea and Peter Markey to coordinate Midpen/POST dates; staff to confirm library logistics for next meeting.
