A utility that receives notice of a violation or that receives notice that a fine has been imposed may appeal to the City Council by filing a written appeal with the City Recorder within 10 days of receipt of the notice of violation or fine. The appeal must state the reasons the utility does not believe a violation has occurred or the reason it believes the fine is unreasonable. Upon receipt of a timely appeal, the City Recorder will schedule an appeal hearing before the City Council. The hearing will be set no less than 10 days after the timely appeal is filed. The City Council will affirm the determination that a violation occurred and impose a penalty or reverse that determination. If the appeal challenges a penalty, the City Council will affirm or modify the penalty.
