result of the second examination. Such appeal shall be placed on the agenda of the first

copy of the information and of such order to be served upon the licensee by certified mail
at least 30 days before the date set for the hearing. The licensee may appear in person

be made and filed with the City Secretary and a certified copy thereof to be forwarded to
