Gardner Avenue – Quasi-Judicial Presenter: Dale Holland, Interim Planning Director A quasi-judicial hearing resembles a court trial where testimony is presented. Citizens may give testimony in a quasi-judicial hearing after they have taken an oath. Town Council acts like a court of law and receives only sworn testimony and other credible evidence. In addition, the Town Council must make findings of fact based upon the evidence presented. The Town Council refrains from "ex parte communication" about these cases, as the Town Council must decide based solely on the evidence presented at the hearing itself.
