(1) The Director of the Employment Department shall, from time to time, after investigation, reasonable public notice, and a public hearing at which any interested party is afforded an opportunity to be heard, determine or redetermine what amount of reserve reasonably is needed in the fund to assure the payment of benefits under this chapter.
