    1. Upon such hearing the person cited may be heard in person or with counsel, or both, may present evidence, and may cross-examine witnesses;
    2. A full and complete record of such hearing shall be recorded and any party to the proceedings, upon request, shall be supplied with a transcript of such proceedings at the usual cost; and
