Shall the measure amending the Bylaws of the El Camino Healthcare District to limit District Directors to four four-year terms be adopted?
Majority Vote Required
A “yes” vote is a vote to amend the District Bylaws to prohibit District Directors from serving more than four full term, for terms beginning on or after December 1, 2026
A “no” vote is a vote to not amend the District Bylaws.
Measure S will establish term limits for the El Camino Healthcare District Board of Directors. It is commonsense reform. Good governance requires fresh perspectives. El Camino Healthcare District serves our entire community, and our Board of Directors should reflect that community, not a small group of long-tenured insiders who face no structural incentive to make way for new voices. This measure establishes a straightforward limit: no Director may serve more than four full four-year terms. That is 16 years of service - a meaningful commitment. The measure ensures fairness: only full terms count. Directors who briefly fill a vacancy or complete an unexpired term will not be penalized. The limit applies only to terms beginning on or after December 1, 2026, so only Term limits work. They create opportunities for qualified candidates, including those who have been underrepresented, to run for seats that would otherwise remain occupied indefinitely. They reduce entrenchment and the institutional resistance to change. And they ensure that our Board stays accountable to the community it serves, not simply to the habits and relationships of long-term incumbents. El Camino Healthcare District has a proud record of service. This measure protects that record by ensuring our Board continues to ear the public's trust through accountability, renewal, and openness to new leadership. Vote YES on Measure S Julia E. Miller, Board Secretary On Behalf of the Board of Directors, El Camino Healthcare District
