In April 2003, the City passed and the Mayor approved Resolution No. 2003-14 adopting Rules of Procedure for the Office of the Hearing Examiner. These Hearing Examiner Rules govern the conduct of hearings held by the Hearing Examiner. The Rules are divided into three chapters: rules that apply to all matters; rules for hearings on permit applications; and, rules for hearings on appeals of administrative decisions.

 

The Bainbridge Island Municipal Code, in Chapter 2.16 and Chapter 2.38, establishes the Hearing Examiner review and appeal procedures. For more information, please read the Hearing Examiner Rules.
