An owner aggrieved by a decision of the Clerk- Treasurer to issue a notice of violation or bill pursuant to this chapter may appeal such decision to the Town Council by giving written notice thereof to the Clerk- Treasurer by certified mail, return receipt requested, no later than the time specified for action in the Clerk- Treasurer’s notice being the subject of the appeal. Thereafter, the Town Council shall conduct a hearing on the appeal no earlier than ten days after notice of said hearing provided to the owner. The owner may appear in person or by counsel at the hearing to present evidence, cross-examine opposing witnesses and make argument relating to the decision of the Clerk-Treasurer. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Town Council may, regardless of whether such owner does or does not appear at the hearing, make findings and take action to affirm, rescind or modify the decision. No provision of this chapter shall obligate the town to create a verbatim transcript of the hearing or shall be construed to require the Clerk-Treasurer, Town Council or the town to give notice of the findings or decision of the Town Council at the hearing to the owner or to any other person.
