South Bay voters pass term limits for hospital district board

Out of more than 100 races and measures on ballots across Santa Clara County this November, the single least controversial item flew largely under the radar, garnering little attention and no campaign fundraising. Measure S, which establishes term limits for the El Camino Healthcare District’s board, passed in a landslide, receiving 92% support as of Sunday. That’s the largest vote share of any ballot item, except for a handful of uncontested races with only a single candidate. The measure will limit board members to serving no more than four full four-year terms, or 16 years in total. The El Camino Healthcare District is a little-known public agency that oversees El Camino Hospital. The district’s board manages the tax-funded district and serves on the nonprofit hospital’s board of directors.
