The Manager, the building official, the Director of Public Safety and the Fire Chief shall serve in an advisory capacity as ex-officio members of the Board. At a hearing conducted pursuant to this Section, the enforcing officer shall present the evidence with respect to the existence of a violation, and the appellant and his attorney may call and cross-examine witnesses and make such argument with respect to the facts and law as may be relevant to the alleged violation. The Board may obtain the advice of the attorney or his designate in connection with the conduct of the hearing or the action to be taken. The Board may act in the absence of any one (1) of its members if such member is not reasonably available, but in no case shall it act without the affirmative vote of any two (2) members. The Board may, upon the hearing, affirm in whole or in part or deny the existence of a violation of this part, and, if a violation is found to exist, confirm or modify the corrective action to be taken or the other requiring vacation of the premises and the time allowed therefor.
