Hearing Officers must be selected in a manner that avoids the potential for pecuniary or other bias. For purposes of this section, "qualified person" includes an individual with a background in the practice of law or with a background in local governance, that is particularly experienced or knowledgeable about the subject matter at issue, or that is otherwise deemed qualified by the City Manager.
