The procedure used by the District to adopt the emergency rule is fair under the circumstances. Affected persons have had a minimum of one week prior notice of the emergency rule. The District included the proposed emergency rule in the Governing Board’s monthly meeting packet which is available to the public at a minimum of seven days prior to the day that the Board and Executive Director approved and filed the emergency rule for adoption. The public is given an opportunity to comment on all matters before the Board during its meetings. The Board’s meeting packet information is posted on the District’s website. Additionally, on June 19, 2017, the District posted on its website a copy of the Draft Final Report for the Rainbow River System MFL proposed in rule 40D-8.041, F.A.C., which contains the proposed emergency rule language. The emergency rule will be posted on the District’s website.
