1319.09 APPEALS.
   Any person adversely affected by the order of the Fire Inspector to vacate, repair, or demolish a building may request a hearing on the matter by submitting a written request therefor to Council within ten days after issuance of the order. Upon receipt of such written request, Council shall set a time and place for a hearing before Council and shall give the petitioner written notice thereof. The hearing shall be held within thirty days after the request for hearing has been filed. At such hearing, the petitioner shall be given an opportunity to be heard and show cause why such notice and order should be modified or withdrawn. The failure of the petitioner or his representative to appear and state his case at such hearing shall be grounds for dismissal of such petition. Upon hearing, Council may affirm, amend, modify or withdraw such notice and order and the petitioner and the Village Fire Inspector shall be notified in writing of such findings. The proceedings at such hearings, including the findings and decision of Council and reasons therefor, shall be summarized in writing and entered as a matter of public record in the Office of the Clerk-Treasurer. Such record shall also include a copy of every notice and order issued in connection with the matter. Any person aggrieved by the decision of Council may seek relief therefrom in any court of competent jurisdiction as provided by the laws of the State. The decision of Council shall be final and conclusive unless the party making an appeal files an action or an appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction within fifteen days of the date of Council's decision.
