10.94.050: HEARING PROCEDURES:
   A.   Upon receiving a request for a hearing pursuant to this chapter, the city manager or his/her designee shall set a hearing before the city manager or his/her designee who was not involved in the determination to declare that a nuisance existed. Notice of the hearing shall be given to the person requesting the hearing and to the city manager or his/her designee or the police chief issuing the notice, at least five (5) days prior to the hearing. No other notices are required. A request for hearing under this section stays all enforcement proceedings until an order of the city manager or his/her designee who was not involved in the determination to declare that a nuisance existed, is entered.
   B.   At any such hearing, the city and person(s) to whom the notices have been directed may introduce such witnesses and evidence as either deems necessary.
   C.   The city manager or his/her designee who was not involved in the determination to declare that a nuisance existed, shall determine either that there exists a nuisance as defined in this chapter or that there does not exist a nuisance as defined in this chapter.
   D.   The city manager or his/her designee who was not involved in the determination to declare that a nuisance existed, shall issue a written order, either finding the existence of a nuisance or finding that a nuisance does not exist. The individual who conducts the hearing shall be authorized to allow the person(s) who requested a hearing additional time to come into compliance. The city manager or his/her designee shall state in his/her order the findings of fact on which he/she based his/her decision and remit copies of same to the property owners involved and to the city manager or his/her designee and the police chief.
