If the person who requests an appeal hearing fails to appear at the scheduled hearing after having been given notice in the manner provided for by this chapter, the hearing examiner shall issue a default order, which finds that the nonappearing party committed all the violations set forth in the enforcement action and which assesses a monetary penalty in the full amount indicated in the enforcement action. In addition, on the motion of the city, the hearing examiner shall also impose upon the nonappearing party any costs to the city related to preparation for the hearing. The hearing examiner shall cause a copy of the default order to be served upon the nonappearing party pursuant to EMC 1.20.080(E). Upon the motion of a party, the hearing examiner may rescind a default judgment only upon a showing of good cause to do so and only if such motion has been brought within thirty calendar days of the date of the hearing at which the default judgment was ordered. (Ord. 3901-22 § 2 (Exh. A), 2022.)
