offending operator. A suspended party may obtain a de novo
hearing before the Board of County Commissioners by filing a
request with the County Administrator within five business days
of his receipt of the copy of the suspension notice. Upon the
receipt of the request, the County Administrator shall schedule
the hearing for the next available regularly scheduled Board
meeting. At the hearing the suspended party and the airport
6
director may offer such evidence as they deem necessary to
support their respective positions although immaterial, irrele-
vant or unduly repetitious evidence shall be excluded by the
Mayor. However, all other evidence of a type commonly relied
upon by reasonably prudent persons in the conduct of their
affairs shall be admissible, whether or not such evidence would
be admissible in a trial in the courts of Florida.
At the
conclusion of the hearing, the Board shall either affirm, reverse
or modify the decision of the airport director and state the
reason(s) therefor.
Section 7.

Section 6, any violation of these regulations may also be pros-
ecuted as a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as
provided in Secs. 775.082 or 775.03, Fla. Stat.
