I prefer to commtinicate via email rather than the phone as it may be part of the required inforination requested for an appeal hearing. The two Warnings of Violation I am referring to are from 2014 (case # CODE14-oo0875) and 2015 (case # CODEiS-000290). To appeal the fee on the Finding of Violation you need to follow the directions on the 211� page of your Finding of Violation. Below is �art of the information on the appeal page: The city has elected to establish a non-judicial hearing and determination system to enforce Renton Municipal Codes civil code violations.Therefore a code violation penalty, consistent with RMC 1-3-2 (P) is imposed, not including any costs, fees or assessments. You may respond in the following manner: I deny creating, permitting to exist, maintaining or failing to eliminate the violation(s) and I am requesting a hearing to contest this Finding of Violation.Appeal repuests must be received bv the Renton Citv Clerk's o�fice within 10 days of the date of this Findina of Violation. Please send me a hearing date. I promise to appear on that date.The administrator must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that I committed the violation. I understand that under RMC1-3-2 (G) that the administrator shall decide whether the opportunity to be heard will be only in writing or in person, or both.The city is not required to call witnesses to testify at the hearing. Pursuant to RMC 1-3-2 (K),failure to attend the scheduled hearing makes the Finding of Violation final, and I may be subject to additional costs if I fail to withdraw or resolve my appeal prior to the hearing date. I also understand that the city has not waived any rights or remedies under the law. The Renton City Clerk's office is on the �th floor of City Hall, 1055 S.
