Section 6.50.2.17 - HEARINGS

A. Hearings are disfavored and will be held only when the executive director determines that substantial material factual issues are present that cannot be resolved satisfactorily through an examination of written documents in the record. Any party may request a hearing, but such requests shall be deemed denied unless specifically granted.

B. Hearings, when held, should be as informal as practicable under the circumstances, but the executive director has absolute discretion in establishing the degree of formality for any particular hearing. In no event is the executive director required to adhere to formal rules of evidence or procedure.
