A. Procedures: Appeals shall be filed within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed fourteen (14) days, by filing with the Council through the City Clerk a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The City may charge a reasonable fee to be paid at the time of filing the appeal. The Council shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of the appeal, give legal public notice to the parties in interest, and decide the same within a reasonable time following the hearing. At the hearing, any affected party may appear in person, by agent or attorney.
B. Appeal Stays Proceedings: An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Council finds, after the notice of appeal is filed with it, that by reason of facts stated in the appeal, a stay would, in their opinion, cause imminent peril to life and property. In such cases, proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order which may be granted by the courts after having due cause shown. (Ord. 411, 2-21-2017)
