§ 3-17-8. Hearing procedure.

(a)

A hearing before the administrative review committee shall be set for a date that is not less than fifteen (15) days and not more than sixty (60) days from the date that the request for hearing is filed in accordance with the provisions of this article.

(b)

At the hearing, the party contesting the administrative citation shall be given the opportunity to testify and to present evidence concerning the administrative citation.

(c)

If the recipient(s) of an administrative citation requests a hearing, and notifies the airport administrative office that they choose to appear in person for the hearing, their failure to appear in person, or to submit their written appeal for review at the administrative review committee hearing, without notifying the airport administrative office at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance, shall constitute a forfeiture of any fine that has been paid and shall constitute a failure to exhaust their administrative remedies.

(d)

The administrative citation and any additional report submitted by the agent of the county shall constitute prima facie evidence of the respective facts contained in those documents. No other proof concerning the violation shall be required to sustain a finding of conviction, provided, however, that the administrative review committee may, in its discretion, consider such other relevant evidence at the hearing.

(e)

The administrative review committee may continue the hearing and request additional information from the agent of the county or the recipient of the administrative citation prior to issuing a written decision.
