§ 15.40.520. Board procedure.

A.

The board of trustees shall consider the appeal within twenty days after the notice of appeals has been filed with the director of inspections. Failure of the board to consider the appeal at such time shall not have the effect of a decision in favor of the aggrieved party. The board of trustees, at its sole discretion, may hear evidence concerning the appeal or may require that the appellant submit additional materials. The rules of procedure during a hearing on an appeal shall be similar to the procedures of trial of civil matters in the courts of this state except where convenience and necessity require variance therefrom. In any event, all evidence that is relevant and material and of probative value shall be admitted. Hearsay evidence alone shall not support any decision of the board of trustees.

B.

All appeal proceedings shall be recorded by the village clerk before the village president, being the hearing officer, and an attorney appointed by the board of trustees. All appeal proceedings shall be controlled by the village president except that procedural rulings of the village president may be overruled by a majority of the members of the board. All questions of fact shall be determined by the board of trustees.
