(C) Civil penalties assessed as provided herein are due and payable to the City on the last day

officers, major shareholders or general partners in common with another entity, which violated
the same code provision within five (5) years of the current violation. For purposes of this

proceedings. Any relevant evidence shall be admitted if the Special Master finds it competent
and reliable, regardless of the existence of any common law or statutory rule to the contrary.
(J) Each party shall have the right to call and examine witnesses; to introduce exhibits; to
cross-examine opposing witnesses on any matter relevant to the issues even though that matter
was not covered in the direct examination; to impeach any witnesses regardless of which party
first called that witness to testify; and to offer rebuttal of the evidence,
(K) The Special Master shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law based on evidence
of record. In order to make a finding upholding the Code Enforcement Officer's decision, the
Special Master must find that a propollderanoe of the evidence substantial competent evidence
indicates that the named Violator was responsible for the violation of the relevant section of the
Code.
(L) The time for correction given by the Code Enforcement Officer to the named Violator
and contained in the Civil Violation Notice is rebuttably presumed to have been a reasonable
time for correction. Upon presentation of relevant evidence by the named Violator that the time
for correction was not reasonable, however, the Special Master may make a re-determination as
to the time period being insufficient. If the Special Master determines that the time given for
correction was insufficient, the penalty for a Continuing Violation shall be calculated from the

the violation alleged occurred, and, if so, whether the person named in the Civil Violation Notice
may be held responsible for that violation. Based upon this fact-finding determination, the

Special Master reverses the decision of the Code Enforcement Officer and finds the named
Violator not responsible for the Code violation in the alleged in the Civil Violation Notice
because the department did not present a preponderance of substantial competent evidence to
indicate that such violator is responsible for the violation, then, and in that case, the named
Violator shall not be liable for the payment of any civil penalty, absent reversal of the Special
Master's findings pursuant to Section 12 of this Ordinance any circuit court appeals.
(0) The decision the Special Master affirming the decision of the Code Enforcement Officer,
shall include the following elements:

Continuing Violation penalties, if any.

Foree1oslH'e. Appeal of Order of the Special Master.
(A) An aggrieved party, including the City, may appeal a final order of a Special Master to
the circuit court. Such an appeal shall not be a hearing de novo but shall be limited to appellate
review of the record created before the Special Master. An appeal shall be filed within thirty (30)
calendar days of the issuance of the order sought to be overturned. Failure to make such appeal
within the prescribed thirty (30) day period shall render the findings of the Special Master
conclusive, binding and final.

Master shall be admissible in any proceeding to collect unpaid penalties.
(C) No aggrieved party other than the City may apply to the court for relief unless such party

provided in this Ordinance. It is the intention of the City that all steps provided by this Ordinance
shall be taken before any application is made to the court for relief, and no application shall be
made by any aggrieved party other than the City to a court for relief except from an order issued
by a Special Master pursuant to this Chapter. It is the intention of the City that, notwithstanding
anything in this Ordinance to the contrary, the City shall retain all rights and remedies otherwise
available to it to secure compliance with or prevent violations of the Code. For purposes of an
appeal, the Clerk shall make available, for public inspection and copying, the record upon which
each final order of a Special Master is based. The Clerk shall make a reasonable charge
commensurate with the cost for the preparation of the official record on appeal and transmittal
thereof to the circuit court for making certified copies of any record or portion thereof.

granted, or
(2) The Special Master has overlooked or failed to consider something that renders
the order issued erroneous.
