County government in the Daily Journal:
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, acting as the governing board of 10 sewer maintenance/sanitation districts, will take public comment Tuesday on proposed rate hikes some as high as triple the base amount and vote. If a majority of residents oppose the proposal, the rates cannot take effect. At the same meeting, the board will adopt a resolution placing a one-eighth-cent sales tax measure on the November ballot. The measure was already approved but requires a second reading Tuesday. It would generate millions of dollars earmarked specifically for the county's parks.
The board meets 9 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 1 in Board Chambers, 400 County Government Center, Redwood City
