§ 2-104. Hearing procedures.

The code enforcement board shall proceed to hear the cases on the agenda for that day. All testimony shall be under oath and shall be recorded. All relevant evidence shall be admitted if the code enforcement board finds that it is the type of evidence which reasonable persons would normally rely. Irrelevant, immaterial and unduly repetitious evidence may be excluded. Documentary and physical evidence may be admitted. After the violator and the city attorney have inquired of any witness, the code enforcement board may also inquire. The code enforcement board may call any witness deemed necessary to provide a full and fair hearing of the case. Formal rules of evidence shall not apply, but fundamental due process shall be observed and shall govern the proceedings.
