(a) The Airport Director hereby is authorized to issue a cease and desist order at any time he has reasonable cause to believe that a violation of any provision of Articles 3, 5, or 6 of this chapter, or any rule or regulation adopted pursuant to this chapter, has occurred or is occurring.
(c) The cease and desist order shall be effective until the Board holds a hearing on the application for sanctions and shall specifically forbid the conduct constituting the violation. Such hearing shall be commenced by the Board no later than fifteen (15) days after the date of service of the cease and desist order on the person committing the violation.
(d) The violation of the cease and desist order shall be a separate violation of this chapter.
(e) The Board hereby declares that the standards of conduct set forth in Articles 3, 5, and 6 of this chapter and any rules or regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter are essential for the public health and safety in that such standards regulate aspects of airport operations which, if conducted negligently, result in substantial danger to the residents of the County. Violations of such standards are therefore deemed by the Board to create a very hazardous situation which hereby is deemed to be an emergency which justifies temporary summary abatement by the issuance of a cease and desist order by the Airport Director without a prior hearing.
