At the time fixed for consideration of the protest, the lien hearing officer shall hear the matter from city staff, together with any objections and evidence, of the owner(s) liable to be assessed for the cost of repair or reconstruction. The lien hearing officer shall follow, as nearly as practicable, those procedures that the city council would have followed had it conducted the hearing. The lien hearing officer may make revisions, corrections, or modifications of the matter as he or she may deem just, and shall submit the report (as revised, corrected or modified) to the city finance staff for adjustment and/or collection. The director of finance shall send the results of the hearing to the protesting owner by first class mail and shall include the date and time of the public hearing to be held by the city council in accordance with Section 12.32.170 of this chapter. The decision of the lien hearing office on the report and on all protests or objections shall be final and conclusive. (Ord. 2010-010 § 2)
