               <span class="ital">Appeals process.</span> Assessments of civil penalty(ies) and other enforcement decisions made under this
               article may be appealed by filing a written notice of appeal with the county manager
               or county manager's designee within ten days after the date of notification of the
               assessment of civil penalty(ies) or other enforcement decision. The failure to give
               notice of appeal within this time shall constitute a waiver of the right to contest
               the assessment of penalty(ies) or other enforcement decision. Appeals shall be heard
               through an administrative process established by the county. The hearing officer's
               decision is subject to review in the district court by proceedings in the nature of
               certiorari.

               or other enforcement decisions using a preponderance of the evidence standard. Notwithstanding
               a determination that the preponderance of the evidence supports the assessment of
               civil penalty(ies) or other enforcement decision, the hearing officer shall have the
               discretion to dismiss or reduce civil penalty(ies) or reverse any other enforcement
               decision where warranted.
