Any person aggrieved under the provisions of this chapter may appeal to the hearing examiner from such finding of the city administrator or designee within fifteen days from the time as such taxpayer was given written notice of noncompliance with the provisions of this chapter or an applicant is given written notice of denial. The city administrator or designee shall, as soon as practical, fix a time and place for hearing of such appeal, which time shall not be more than thirty days after filing a notice of appeal and the hearing examiner shall cause a notice of the time and place thereof to be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the person appealing the city administrator’s or designee’s proposed action. At such hearing, the applicant or taxpayer shall be entitled to be heard and to introduce evidence on their own behalf. The hearing examiner shall thereupon make a finding and notify the appellant thereof by mail. The city may, before the appeal is to be heard, subpoena and require the attendance at such hearing of any person and may require such person to produce any pertinent books and records. Any person served with such subpoena shall appear at the time and place therein stated and produce the books and records required, if any, and shall testify truthfully under oath administered by the hearing examiner as to any matter required of such person pertinent to the appeal and it shall be unlawful for such person to fail or refuse to do so.

Hearing examiner action shall be final unless within thirty days thereof an appeal has been filed with Snohomish County superior court by writ of certiorari. (Ord. 003/2014 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 006/2011 §§ 1, 6 (Exh. A); Ord. 975, 1991; Ord. 711, 1980)
