The director may order any responsible party suspected of causing or contributing to violation(s), to appear before the director and show cause why a proposed enforcement action should not be taken. Written notice shall be served on the responsible party, and shall specify the time and place for the hearing, the proposed enforcement action, the reasons for such action, and a request that the responsible party show cause why this enforcement action should not be taken. The notice shall be served in person on any authorized representative of the responsible party, or by certified mail, return receipt requested, at least seven (7) days prior to the hearing. Whether or not the responsible party appears as ordered, immediate enforcement action may be pursued following the hearing date. A show cause hearing shall not be a prerequisite for taking any other actions against the responsible party. (Ord. 53-07 § 19, 2007)
