on draft dockets and resolutions scheduled for hearing on June 10 will 
be accepted through the close of the hearing that day. After the 
hearing on all scheduled matters has been completed, there will be an 
opportunity for public dialogue.
    Because hearings on particular projects may be postponed to allow 
additional time for the commission's review, interested parties are 
advised to check the Commission's Web site during the week immediately 
prior to the hearing date. Any postponements will be duly noted there.
    Public Meeting. The public meeting on June 11, 2014 will begin at

following items: adoption of the Minutes of the Commission's March 12, 
2014 business meeting, announcements of upcoming meetings and events, a 
report on hydrologic conditions, reports by the Executive Director and

which a hearing has been completed or is not required.
    There will be no opportunity for additional public comments at the 
June 10 business meeting on hearing items for which the hearing was 
completed on June 10 or a previous date. Commission consideration on 
June 11 of items for which the public hearing is closed may result in 
either approval of the item (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.
