In the event the owner or occupant makes a request for a hearing, the Mayor, City Manager, or City Administrator, or designee, shall set the time and place for hearing his or her objections, and the City Recorder shall notify the owner or occupant, in writing, of the time and place at which he or she may appear and be heard. Said hearing shall not be heard within less than five days from the date of service or mailing of said notice.
(B) Procedure; decision. At the written request of the owner or occupant ordered to remove or abate said weeds, objectionable conditions, or objects from his or her real property, the Mayor, City Manager, or City Administrator, or designee, shall conduct an informal hearing (which need not be reported) wherein said owner or occupant may present such evidence and argument as is pertinent to the question of whether or not the removal or abatement of said objects or conditions is properly within the purview of this subchapter. The Mayor, City Manager, or City Administrator, or designee, shall also permit the presentation of evidence and argument by the Enforcement Officer and other interested parties. Thereafter, within not more than ten days, the Mayor, City Manager, or City Administrator, or designee, shall render its written decision, a copy of which shall be mailed to or served upon the owner or occupant by the Enforcement Officer, either personally or by first-class mail, postage prepaid.
