A. Contesting a Violation. Except for criminal citations, a person receiving a violation notice from a Code Enforcement Officer or other decision from which an appeal may be taken pursuant to City Code, may contest the alleged violation by notifying the City Clerk in writing within ten (10) calendar days after the violation notice is mailed or personally served, stating why the offender contests the alleged violation. The offender must pay a non-refundable filing fee along with the appeal, pursuant to the City’s fee ordinance.
B. Hearing. After receipt of a written notice with the filing fee, the City Clerk shall schedule a hearing with the City Administrator, or their designee. The decision of the City Administrator shall be supported by written findings of fact based upon the applicable provisions of the Code as well as any evidence presented. The decision of the City Administrator is final.
