(A) A person who is fined or issued a citation in violation of this chapter shall have the option of appealing said fine or citation, in the following manner:
(1) A person must appear at the next County Commissioner's meeting in order to appeal the fine or citation to the County Commissioners. The County Commissioners meet on the second and fourth Thursday of every month.
(2) After a person appeals to the County Commissioners, it will then be left to the discretion of the County Commissioners to determine whether the fine or citation issued shall be upheld or overturned.
(3) If a person who appeals their fine or citation to the County Commissioners wishes to appeal to the decision of the County Commissioners, they must then appeal to the County Superior Court on the next date that animal control hearings are held. A person should contact the County Attorney to determine when the next day animal control hearings will be held.
(B) Regardless of whether a person wishes to appeal to the County Commissioners, they must still appear at the court date listed on their fine or citation. At said court date, a person may inform the court and County Attorney that they wish to appeal the fine or citation to the County Commissioners.
