The City Council finds that in order for the city to comply with the laws, regulations, and rules imposed upon it by regulatory agencies and the sewer WDRs and to ensure that the city’s sewer facilities are protected and are able to operate with the highest degree of efficiency, and to protect the public health and environment, specific enforcement provisions must be adopted to govern the discharges to the city’s sewer system by food facilities.

2. A permittee or applicant for a permit may request the City Council of the city to hear an appeal of the City Manager’s decision pursuant to § 13.00.586. Such request may be granted or denied by the City Council; and
3. Any permit suspension or revocation recommended by the City Manager will be heard and a recommendation made to the City Manager or other person designated by the City Manager with a right of appeal of the City Manager’s order by the permittee to the City Council pursuant to the provisions of § 13.00.586.
