In the event the Chief of Police or designee issues a recommendation of denial to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC), he or she will first notify the applicant in writing of their intent to issue a recommendation of denial within three working days of receipt of the application. The notification will include the reason(s) for the intent to recommend denial and a date and time within the next five working days to hear the applicant's appeal, if any. The applicant has the right to be heard and to present witnesses and evidence purporting to refute the reasons given by the Chief of Police or designee for a recommendation of denial. The hearing will be administrative in nature and held before the Chief of Police or designee. Rules of evidence do not apply. Upon completion of the hearing, the Chief of Police or designee will make a finding and mail the final recommendation to the OLCC and the applicant within three working days of the hearing date.
