B. 
The Committee shall be empowered to temporarily suspend an individual's ability to use the Borough Facilities relative to an alleged disciplinary infraction pending a hearing; however, an initial hearing before the Committee shall be scheduled within 20 days of the suspension to provide due process to the alleged violator on an expedited basis.
