A. Any violator that is subjected to the administrative penalty or stop work order processes may request a hearing and appeal as follows:

1. Any party affected by a penalty, order, directive or determination issued or made, pursuant to this chapter may, within seven days of the issuance of such penalty, order, directive, or determination request a hearing before the city manager to show cause why such should be modified or made to not apply to such person. Such request shall be in writing and addressed to the city manager at 220 E First, El Dorado, Kansas, 67042. The city manager or his or her designee shall hold the requested hearing as soon as practical after receiving the request, at which time the person affected shall have an opportunity to be heard. At the conclusion of the hearing, the city manager shall issue a written response to the person requesting the hearing affirming, modifying, or rescinding the penalty, order, directive, or determination issued or made.

2. Any party aggrieved by the decision of the city manager may appeal such decision to the city court within seven days of receipt of the decision by filing notice of appeal with the court clerk. Upon hearing, the city court may affirm, modify, or reverse the decision of the director. Any appeal of the court’s decision shall be as provided by state law. (Ord. G-988 § 1 (part), 2006)
