The public is advised to check the

may be postponed if additional time is 

needed to complete the Commission’s 

review. Items also may be added up to 

ten days prior to the hearing date. In 

reviewing docket descriptions, the 

public is asked to be aware that the 

details of projects may change during

Public Meeting. The public business 

meeting on March 9, 2022 will begin at 

10:30 a.m. and will include: Adoption 

of the Minutes of the Commission’s 

December 8, 2021 business meeting; 

announcements of upcoming meetings 

and events; a report on hydrologic 

conditions; reports by the Executive 

Director and the Commission’s General 

Counsel; and consideration of any items 

for which a hearing has been completed 

or is not required. 

After all scheduled business has been 

completed and as time allows, the 

business meeting will be followed by up 

to one hour of Open Public Comment, 

an opportunity to address the 

Commission on any topic concerning 

management of the Basin’s water 

resources outside the context of a duly 

noticed, on-the-record public hearing. 

There will be no opportunity for 

additional public comment for the 

record at the March 9, 2022 business 

meeting on items for which a hearing 

was completed on February 9, 2022 or 

a previous date. Commission 

consideration on March 9, 2022 of items 

for which the public hearing is closed 

may result in approval of the item (by 

docket or resolution) as proposed, 

approval with changes, denial, or 

deferral. When the Commissioners defer 

an action, they may announce an 

additional period for written comment 

on the item, with or without an 

additional hearing date, or they may 

take additional time to consider the 

input they have already received 

without requesting further public input. 

Any deferred items will be considered 

for action at a public meeting of the 

Commission on a future date.
