County Sets Hearing On Angel Island
The board of supervisors scheduled August 20 as the public hearing date on designating Angel Island as a scenic park and beach area as part of the county master recreation plan. The Main County Taxpayers Association opposed county takeover and urged state purchase with no county maintenance burden. The planning commission had recommended the designation, while different officials noted the state would only acquire if local support exists and the county would not be obligated to develop the island. The Strawberry Recreation District is negotiating with the state to advance the proposal.
