106 COUNCIL MEETING September 23, 1985 Page Four which that hearing may be requested. The order shall also state that failure to abate the nuisance or request a hearing within the applicable time periods will result in summary abatement procedures, and that the cost of abatement will be assessed against the subject property. Upon expiration of the time required by the notice, the Zoning Administrator or Chief Building Official may abate the nuisance unless a request for a hearing has been timely filed. 2. Any property owner who feels aggrieved by an order of the Zoning Administrator or Chief Building Official issued pursuant to this ordinance may request a hearing before the Hearing Examiner. Such request shall be filed in writing with the office of the City Clerk within twenty (20) days after service of the notice by the Zoning Administrator or Chief Building Official. The City Clerk shall notify the Hearing Examiner who shall notify the property owner of the date, time and place of the hearing. The hearing shall be conducted no more than ten (10) days after the Hearing Examiner receives notice of the request, unless a later date is mutually agreed to by the Hearing Examiner, the prop- erty owner and the City. Both the property owner and the City may appear at the hearing with counsel and may call such witnesses and present such evidence as is determined by the Hearing Examiner to be relevant. Within ten (10) days after such hearing, the Hearing Examiner shall affirm, repeal or modify the order of the Zoning Administrator or Chief Building Official. The Hearing Examiner's order shall be accompanied by written findings of fact. Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Hearing Examiner may appeal that deci- ion to the City Council by filing notice of such appeal with the office of the City Clerk. At its next available regular meeting, following the filing of a notice of appeal, the Council shall review the decision and findings of fact of the Hearing Examiner and shall affirm, repeal or modify that decision. The City shall take no action to abate any nuisance while the matter is still pending before the Hearing Examiner or the City Council. 3. The Zoning Administrator or Chief Building Official shall keep a record of the costs of abatements done under this ordinance and shall report monthly to the City Clerk or other appropriate officer all work done for which assessments are to be made, stating and cer- tifying the description of the land, lots or parcels involved and the amount assessable to each. 1 1 1
