A. At the time and place set for the hearing, the city council shall review and consider the record before and the report and decision of the hearing officer and written and oral evidence and argument relative to the report and decision of the hearing officer. The hearing may be continued from time to time, provided, however, that the hearing shall be completed as expeditiously as circumstances reasonably permit.
B. Upon conclusion of the hearing, the city council shall, on the basis of the record before and the report of the hearing officer, and considering such evidence and argument as may have been presented and received at the hearing, determine whether the decision of the hearing officer should be upheld, modified, or overturned. The determination of the city council shall include a statement as to whether or not a public nuisance exists. If the city council finds that a public nuisance exists, it shall, by resolution, order the nuisance abated within a reasonable time to be set forth in the resolution. If the city council finds that no public nuisance exists, the notice to abate shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and the matter shall be terminated. The determination of the city council shall be final.
