(b) If the individual fails, within a reasonable time, to obey the lawful order and correct the violation, the officer may make a written complaint to the Director in addition to any other remedy provided by law.
(c) Upon receipt of such complaint, the Director shall schedule a hearing. The owner and operator of the food truck shall be notified either in person or by mail (sent to the last known address of the owner of the food truck), setting forth the date, time and place of such hearing and advising that he/she may have private counsel present to represent them at the hearing. The complaining officer shall also be present.
