(A) Assessments of civil penalties and other enforcement decisions made under this chapter may be appealed by filing a written notice of appeal with the Alarm Ordinance Administrator within ten days after the date of notification of the assessment of civil penalty or other enforcement decision. The failure to give notice of appeal within this time period shall constitute a waiver of the right to contest the assessment of penalty or other enforcement decision. Appeals shall be heard through an administrative process established by the town.
(B) The Hearing Committee shall review an appeal from the assessment of civil penalty or other enforcement decisions and shall render a decision based on available information and evidence. The Hearing Committee shall have the discretion to dismiss or reduce civil penalties or reverse any other enforcement decision where warranted.
(C) The alarm user shall provide the Hearing Committee with substantial facts and/or expert testimony upon which request for review of the false alarm determination is made.
(D) The decision of the Hearing Committee is the final step in the administrative process and is conclusive upon the appellant or alarm user who shall be considered to have exhausted all administrative remedies that are available to appellant or alarm user.
