Persons wishing to speak at the meeting are asked to complete an attendance card and provide it to staff. Although filling out the attendance card is voluntary, we do appreciate receiving a card from all persons in attendance. Any person planning to make a presentation to the Board that requires the use of visual aids (such as overheads, slides, or video projector) should contact the assigned staff person to make arrangements before the meeting date in order to avoid unnecessary delays during the meeting. If the Meeting Procedures in this agenda conflict with a specific Notice of Public Hearing or Hearing Procedures for a specific item, the Notice of Public Hearing or specific Hearing Procedures will control. Ail interested persons may speak at the Board meeting, and are expected to orally summarize their written submittals. Testimony and policy statements should be presented in writing prior to the meeting and only a summary of pertinent points presented orally. Oral presentations {e.g., direct testimony, policy comments, cross examination and closing statements) will be limited in time by the Board Chair. A timer may be used and speakers are expected to honor the time limits. Oral presentations must be relevant. Where speakers can be grouped by affiliation or interest, such groups will be expected to select a spokesperson and not be repetitive. The Board will accommodate spokespersons by granting additional time if other group members will not also bespeaking. Any person may submit comments in writing on any agenda item. Written comments shall not be read into the record unless allowed by the Board Chair. Persons who want to submit written materials for any agenda item must provide such written documents to the Board office in advance of the meeting, which must be by the date and time specified in the applicable Notice of Public Hearing andlar Hearing Procedures. Materials received by the deadline and in compliance with the Notice of Public Hearing andlor Hearing. Procedures will be included in the administrative record. Staff may provide written responses to comments. Late written materials will no# be provided to Board members or included in the administrative record, unless the Chair allows the late submission. A party requesting to submit late materials must demonstrate good cause for the late submission, and the Chair must find that the late submission would not prejudice the Central Valley Water Board or any designated party. The Chair may modify this rule if a party shows severe hardship. Late submissions that consist of evidence {as opposed to policy statements) will generally be deemed prejudicial unless all designated parties and Board staff have time to consider the evidence before the meeting. Written materials or other documents submitted at the Board meeting must be provided first to Board counsel who will advise the Board regarding acceptance into the, record.. .. _, . PROCEDURE FOR UNCONTESTED (CONSENT} AGENDA ITEMS (see also 23 CCR 647.2(f)) Uncontested or consent agenda items are items for which there appears to be no controversy and which can be acted upon by the Board with limited or no discussion. Such items have been properly noticed and all interested parties consent to the staff recommendation. The Board Chair will recognize late revisions submitted by staff and will then call for a motion and vote by the Board. If any Board member or member of the public raises a question or issue regarding the item that requires Board discussion, the item may be removed from the consent calendar and considered in its numerical order on the agenda, or in an order determined by the Board Chair. Anyone wishing to contest a consent item on the agenda must appear in person at the Board meeting and explain to the Board the reason the item is contested. PROCEDURE FOR INFORMATION ITEMS (see also 23 CCR 649 a#seq.} Information items are items presented to the Board for discussion only and for which no Board action or vote is taken. The Board may, however, provide direction to staff. The Board usually will hear a~ presentation by staff, and comments by Meeting Procedures 1 Updated November, 20'[2 interested persons shall also be allowed. Members of the public wishing to address the Board on the topic under discussion should submit an attendance card beforehand indicating their request to speak to the Board. Time limits may be imposed on interested persons. PROCEDURE FOR ACTION ITEMS (see also 23 CCR 649 et.seq.) Contested agenda items are items to which the parties involved have not consented and the staff recommendation is in dispute. The procedure #hat applies to such items depends on the nature of the matter. Masters before fhe Board may be quasi-legislative orquasi-judicial (adjudicative proceedings). Such items may require a public hearing and all interested persons will be provided an opportunity to make comments. Contested agenda items that are adjudicative, not quasi legislative, are governed by the rules for adjudicative proceedings. The regulations setting forth the procedures for adjudicative proceedings are codifed in Title 23 California Cade of Regulations Division 3. Adjudicative proceedings before the Central Valley Water Board are governed by these regulations as authorized by chapter 4.5 of the Administrative Procedure Act {commencing with section 11400 of the Government Code). The regulations provide that, with certain exceptions, adjudicative proceedings will be conducted in accordance with sections $00-$05 of the Evidence Code and section 11513 of Chapter 5 of the Government Cade. {Other provisions of chapter 5 do not apply}. A copy of those regulations and chapter 4.5 of the Administrative Procedure Act, section 11513 of the Government Cade, and sections 801-805 of the Evidence Code can be found at httpa/www.waterboards raaovhaws regulations/ An ad;udicative proceeding is a hearing to receive evidence far determination of facts pursuant to which the Board formulates and issues a decision. A decision determines a legal right, duty, privilege, immunity, or other legal interest of a particular person or persons. Examples of adjudicative proceedings include hearings to receive evidence concerning the issuance of waste discharge requirements or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits; concerning cease and desist orders; and concerning orders setting administrative civil liability. Adjudicative hearings are not conducted according to the technical rules of evidence, and the Board will accept any evidence or testimony that is reasonably relevant. The Notice of Public Hearing will set for the process for the hearing. All persons testifying must state their name, address, affiliation, and whether they have taken the oath before testifying.
