§ 6.30.100. Administrative hearing.

(a)

A responsible person may request a hearing, except that a hearing for a building code violation may not be requested unless and until a second administrative citation containing a notice of noncorrection has been issued.

(b)

A request for a hearing shall be filed with the city manager on a form established by the city manager within 30 days of the issuance of the administrative citation, and shall include any grounds for the hearing which the responsible person wishes the city to consider. Unless waived upon preliminary review, the request shall be accompanied by a deposit of the fine imposed by the administrative citation.

(c)

A responsible person may request one continuance of a hearing provided he does so in writing in advance of the date of the hearing and states a reasonable basis for the request. Unless the city issues a written notice of continuance, a responsible person shall attend the hearing at the date, time and location specified in the notice of hearing transmitted by the city to the responsible person. A responsible person's failure to attend a hearing shall constitute an abandonment of the request for the hearing and a failure to exhaust the administrative remedies.
