§ 5942 Harbor Project Feasibility Hearing

This law says the board has to set a hearing date for a harbor project report between 20 and 30 days after the report is filed, and must put a notice about the hearing in at least two local newspapers.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board must schedule the hearing 20‑30 days after the report is filed.
  • •Notice of the hearing must be published in at least two newspapers in the district.
  • •The hearing is to decide if the harbor project is doable.

Example

A town wants to build a new fishing pier. The harbor commission sends its report to the board. The board must pick a hearing date that is at least 20 days but no more than 30 days after the report is filed, and then announce the hearing in two newspapers that serve the town.

The board follows the rule by choosing a date, say 25 days after the report, and then publishes the notice in the town’s two newspapers so everyone knows when the hearing will happen.
