311 local taxes , seconded by Councilman Williams , On the question , Councilman Henderson indicated that presumably the report would be made available to anyone for study at City Hall . Councilman Weymouth advised that he would oppose the motion because he believed it to have inequities in it , and felt that a residential tax should be applied to apartment units on the basis of the property tax . Councilman Rhodes commented that the tax represented about 30 cents per month per unit , and this would be no justification for rent increases . Motion carried on roll call vote , Councilman Weymouth voting no . Sewer Service Charges Increase . City Manager noted that , similarly to the previous item , this proposal had been approved in principle by the Council in adoption of the 1972 -73 budget , The proposed in- crease was to eliminate a deficit in sanitary sewer Maintenance costs , and to provide additional revenue for the purpose of paying the City ' s share of costs involved with the proposed new tri - city sewage treatment facility . He noted also that at the time the budget was adopted , Council had requested a detailed report setting forth the new rate schedule , and such a report had been completed by City Controller and provided to Council , The Uniform Industrial Waste Disposal Ordinance was in final stages of preparation by Jenks and Adamson , as part of the San Mateo County Sub-Regional Waste Disposal Study , and should be available for review by all jurisdictions in the County in the near future , That would tie in with the proposal before Council , since it concerned what types of waste can be disposed of in the system . City Manager noted also that the Controller ' s office and Public Works Department had discussed the effect of proposed increases with the major industrial dischargers that would be most affected . Mayor Keckley noted that by 1978 the City would need to have improve - ments to the treatment plant to bring it up to standards , and that the only methods of paying the costs would be through accumulating funds and investing , or by bond issue , In response to question by Councilman Henderson , City Controller advised that residents of Red - wood Shores (Area B ) , were already paying $3 . 70 per month sewer service charge , while the rest of the City pays $1 , 85 , and that in addition to sewer bonds , there is a sewer connection charge . He indicated that sewer costs are just bang met in Redwood Shores . Sewer rental paid by residents in Redwood Shores goes into the 3/12/73 Reg . Mtg .
