The mayor shall appoint, subject to confirmation by the town council, a citation hearing officer to conduct the hearings authorized by ordinances of the town except those hearings specified in section 13-39.

The citation hearing officer shall serve for a term of two (2) years unless removed for cause.
(b)
Any person served such a citation may make payment of the fine within thirty (30) days of such service. Such payment shall be payable to the treasurer of the town and mailed to the zoning enforcement officer and shall be inadmissible in any proceeding, civil or criminal, to establish the conduct of such person making the payment.

If the person cited fails to pay the fine within said thirty-day period, the zoning enforcement officer, or other officer charged with enforcement pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes section 7-152c, as amended, is authorized, at any time within twelve (12) months from the expiration of said thirty-day period, to enforce said citation by sending said person a notice informing him:
(1)
Of the allegations against him and the amount of the fine(s) due;
(2)
That he may contest his liability before the citation hearing officer by delivering in person or by mail written notice within ten (10) days of the date thereof;
(3)
That if he does not demand a hearing, an assessment of fine and judgement shall be entered against him; and

(d)
If the person sent the notice required by subsection (c) above does not make full payment of the fine(s) and does not make written demand for a hearing before the citation hearing officer within ten (10) days of the notice provided for in subsection (c) above, he shall be deemed to have admitted liability, and the enforcement officer shall certify such person's failure to respond to the citation hearing officer. The citation hearing officer shall thereupon enter and assess the fine(s) provided for by this section.
(e)
If a hearing is requested, it shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Connecticut General Statutes, Rev. 1958, section 7-152c(e).

(g)
This section shall be effective for not more than ten (10) years from the date of adoption, at which time, if the town council does not or has not acted to renew the section, this section shall be deemed repealed.
