C/CAG is governed by a 21-member Board of Directors and is advised by nine standing committees.

San Mateo County Express Lanes Joint Powers Authority (SMCEL-JPA)

The San Mateo County Express Lane is a dual-agency project constructed with the goal to reduce traffic congestion, and to promote carpooling and transit use on US Highway 101 (US 101) in San Mateo County. The project was initiated in 2018 between the city/county Association of Governments of San Mateo County (C/CAG) and the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (TA). 

In June 2019, C/CAG and TA approved a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA), allowing both entities equitable involvement in the SMCEL program. The agreement designated a JPA to manage the express lanes, which would be governed by a Board containing equal representation from each agency. Additionally, the JEPA established an Executive Council, which is formed by the Executive Directors of both agencies, and hired consultant support to develop and implement policies.

Since the JPA was established in 2019, two segments of the Express Lanes have been constructed. The south segment opened in 2022, and the north segment opened in 2023. The JPA manages 22 miles of express lanes on US 101 from Interstate 380 in South San Francisco to the San Mateo County/Santa Clara County border.   More information on the JPA can be found at https://101expresslanes.org/. 

Both C/CAG and the TA aim to create an environment where all employees are treated with fairness and respect, regardless of their background, and one where their unique perspectives are celebrated. The agencies are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workforce, and welcome candidates who share commitment to these values.

Located in San Mateo County just twelve miles south of San Francisco, Pacifica feels worlds away from it, yet is easily accessible from Highway 1.  The most panoramic coastal town in the San Francisco Bay Area, Pacifica is famous for its six miles of scenic coastline, classic northern California beaches, breathtaking vistas, and charming ambience.  The city is nestled in between small valleys, with Sweeney Ridge to the east, Montara Mountain to the south and the Pacific Ocean’s rocky bluffs and sandy beaches to the west.  Pacifica encompasses roughly 12.6 square miles, of which, approximately one-half is publicly owned open space.  Numerous cities, county and state parks provide panoramic views and a feeling of spaciousness rarely found in suburban areas. Several miles of coastal and ridge top trails tie Pacifica to neighboring communities.

This natural connecting point of beaches, headlands and hills provides a wide range of recreational opportunities from surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, scuba diving and paragliding, to hiking, whale and bird watching and cycling. Pacifica’s one-quarter mile fishing pier is considered to be one of the best in the state and is ranked number one by anglers in the Bay area.

THE ORGANIZATION

The City of Pacifica is a General Law City incorporated in 1957 and operates under the Council/Manager form of government. Legislative authority is vested in a five-member City Council elected by district for four-year overlapping terms. The Mayor is selected each year by a majority vote of the other Council members. The Council appoints the City Manager, City Attorney, and members of advisory commissions and committees.

Pacifica is a full-service city (approximately 188 FTE) with a proposed FY 2023/24 general fund budget of $40.1M.

Employees are represented by eight bargaining units.
