A. The hearing examiner shall consider all information gathered and determine whether there is probable cause to believe that a violation within the board’s jurisdiction has occurred.

B. If probable cause is not found, all parties are notified and the information gathered for the screening remains confidential unless the respondent provides a written waiver of the release of confidentiality rights.

C. If probable cause is determined by the hearing examiner the city clerk shall schedule a hearing with the board within forty-five (45) days of the hearing examiner’s formal written order. The chair may rule on a request for continuance or extension of the hearing date without calling a board meeting as long as there has been an opportunity for the other party to respond to the request for continuance. The continuance may be granted for good cause. The chair’s determination shall be in writing and shall specify the date to which the deadline has been changed or the time frame which has been extended. [Ord. 19-19 § 3, 2019.]
