Any person determined to be a responsible person under this chapter that incurs fee(s) assessed under Article I, II, or III may appeal that determination, and the service fee(s) assessed, by filing a written statement of appeal.
The written statement shall set forth the reasons for the appeal;
why such person is not responsible for the cost of emergency response
or service; and why the fee should not be assessed.
A person determined by the Director to be responsible for the cost
of an emergency response or service in excess of $5,000 may file a
written statement of appeal with the Clerk requesting review of the
Director's decision by the Township Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees will hear the appeal within 90 days of receiving
the request for appeal and, by a majority vote of those voting, shall
determine by a preponderance of the evidence whether the facts warrant
the fees and charges assessed pursuant to this chapter.
