The Placer County Board of Supervisors will hold a meeting on Tues., Dec. 6, 2011, in Auburn to consider alternatives for achieving compliance with regulatory requirements for Sewer Maintenance District 1 (SMD1). The meeting, to be held in the Planning Commission hearing room, 3091 County Center Drive, will begin at 9:00 AM, and the wastewater item is scheduled for 9:30 AM.
