A request for such hearing shall be in writing and shall be filed within 10 days from the date of service of the notice of itemized bill for costs. Failure to request an administrative enforcement hearing as provided shall constitute a waiver to an administrative enforcement hearing and a waiver of the right to appeal. [Ord. 22-16 § 2 (Exh. A).]
