Rule 9. Representation of the City

The City need not be represented by counsel at the hearing on a charging document. The City's right to be represented by counsel at the hearing is waived unless the City notifies the court and the respondent of its election to be represented by counsel. Absent extraordinary circumstances, notice must be made at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the hearing date, or within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of notice that the respondent will be represented by counsel, whichever is later.
