(A) Any person affected by any notice or order which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of any provisions of this subchapter may request and shall have granted a hearing on the matter before the Village Council, provided that such person shall file in the office of Mayor, a written petition requesting such hearing, setting forth the name, address and phone number of the petitioner, and a brief statement of the grounds for such hearing or for the mitigation of any order of the Mayor. Said petition shall be filed within ten days after the notice and order is served. Upon receipt of such petition, the President of Council shall set a time and place for hearing and shall give the petitioner written notice thereof. The hearing shall be commenced within a reasonable time after the petition has been filed. At such hearing the petitioner shall be given the opportunity to be heard, and show cause why such notice and order should be modified or withdrawn. The failure of the petitioner or his or her representative to appear and state his or her case at such hearing shall have the same effect as if no petition were filed. The Mayor shall appear before Council and first present to the Board any and all notices, orders and other material facts regarding violation of any section of this subchapter from which the petitioner is appealing.
(B) After a hearing, the Village Council shall sustain, modify or withdraw the notice and order by majority vote, depending upon its finding as to whether the provisions of the subchapter have been complied with. The petitioner and Mayor shall be notified in writing of such findings.
(C) The proceedings at such hearing, including the findings and decision of the Village Council and reasons therefor, shall be summarized and reduced to writing and entered as a matter of public record in the Mayor’s office. Such record shall also include a copy of every notice and order issued in connection with this matter. Village Council shall also provide a complete stenographic transcript of all proceedings on each and every case brought before it.
