(A) Notice of hearing. If the violation is not corrected by timely compliance, the Director may order any user which causes or allows an unauthorized discharge to show cause in a hearing before the City Council why the proposed enforcement action should not be taken. A notice of the hearing shall include proposed enforcement action and shall be served personally or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) at least ten days before the hearing. Service may be made on any agent or officer of a corporation or one of the persons whose name appears on the permit application.
(B) Hearing officials. The City Council may itself conduct the hearing and take the evidence or may designate any of its members or any officer or employee of the Public Works Department to:
(1) Issue in the name of the City Council notices of hearings requesting the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the protection of evidence relevant to any matter involved in the hearings;
(2) Take the evidence; and
(3) Transmit a report of the evidence and hearing, including transcripts and other evidence, together with recommendations to the City Council for action thereon.
(C) Transcripts. At any hearing held pursuant to this chapter, testimony taken must be under oath and recorded stenographically. The transcript, so recorded, will be made available to any member of the public or any party to the hearing upon payment of the usual charges therefor.
(D) Issuance of orders. After the City Council has reviewed the evidence, it may issue an order to the user responsible for the discharge directing that, following a specified time period, the sewer service be discontinued unless adequate treatment facilities, devices, or other related appurtenances shall have been installed or existing treatment facilities, devices, or other related appurtenances are properly operated. Further orders and directives as are necessary and appropriate may be issued.
