You have to dig into the agenda packet to get the full details. Basically, the rules referred to cover basic policies/procedures the district has to follow, in this case for water and wastewater rates (Chapter II) and irrigation water (Chapter III). Changes of such procedures requires formal public hearings (witnesses have to be sworn in and all that), so that is why this part of the agenda is so busy. I personally am not affected by this (my neighborhood is one of the rare ones where water/sewer is covered by Marion County utilities), so I haven't been paying attention to what has been going on, but it sounds like this will be addressing what costs will be to ratepayers, so this meeting is an important one for residents in the NSCUDD area.
