Any matter designated for hearing before the Board may be heard by a quorum of the Board, referred by the Board for hearing before a Hearing Examiner, or heard by a quorum of the Board along with an appointed Hearing Examiner who officiates during the hearing.

The Board may hold a hearing, after giving notice, to consider adoption of a new District Management plan or revising an existing District Management Plan, Joint Planning and DFC’s adoption, or to amend the District Rules or adopt new District Rules.

A public hearing may be held on any matter within the jurisdiction of the Board if the Board determines that a hearing is in the public interest or necessary to effectively carry out the duties and responsibilities of the District.
