Before approval of the budget by the district board of managers, a public hearing shall be held. Notice of the hearing shall be published once each week for two successive weeks in the watershed district's official newspapers.
With the first notice, the budget shall be published in a form approved by the auditor general. At the conclusion of the hearing, the board of managers may eliminate or amend any portion of the budget before adoption.
