any or all of the following additional temporary measures

nine to ten-thirty a.m. and eight-thirty to nine-thirty

The mailed notice shall specify a date and time for
hearing before the board of supervisors which shall be
no more than twenty-one days following the date of mailing
at which time the county engineer shall present evidence
for the board to determine whether the emergency measures
were necessary and whether they should continue. At the
hearing, residents of the district or other interested
persons may present evidence in favor of or in opposition
to the emergency measures. At the conclusion of the hearing
the board shall, by resolution, continue, modify or dissolve
the temporary measures as it deems appropriate. (Ord.
532 §1(part), 1995).
