A. Any person subject to the imposition of a fee, order of disconnection or other administrative sanction under the terms of this chapter shall have a right to a hearing with the city upon filing a timely written request.

B. The request for a hearing must be made in writing and filed with the city administrator within 15 days of the date of the notice of administrative decision required in GHMC 9.16.050. Upon receipt of a timely written request, the city administrator shall schedule a hearing date and inform the owner of the date, time and place of the hearing. The city administrator shall consider the record of past false alarms, any corrective action taken and any inspection reports on the cause of the false alarm. If the city administrator determines that the false alarms are not caused by the owner or his employees or agents and that reasonable steps have been taken to correct the problem, the fee or other sanction may be suspended, in whole or in part. The city administrator shall keep a written report of the hearing, including a statement of reasons for whatever action is taken. (Ord. 529 § 2, 1988).
