§ 2-441. Continuances and representation at code hearings.

No continuances shall be authorized by the hearing officer in proceedings under this article except in cases where a continuance is absolutely necessary to protect the rights of the owner. Lack of preparation shall not be grounds for a continuance. Any continuance authorized by a hearing officer under this article shall not exceed 25 days. The case for the village may be presented by the building inspector, by any other village employee or by an attorney designated by the village. However, in no event shall the case for the village be presented by an employee of the code hearing department. The case for the property owner may be presented by the owner, his attorney, or any other agent or representative.
