A. Right to Administrative Review. Any person aggrieved by a determination made or action taken by the director pursuant to this chapter may apply for administrative review of such determination or action.
B. Applications for Administrative Review. Applications for administrative review shall be in writing and filed in the office of the city manager no later than 15 days following the date such determination or action was made or taken, or when written notice of such determination or action is required to be served, the date such notice is served in person or is mailed. Each application shall identify the determination made or action taken for which review is sought, state the reasons why the applicant believes that such determination or action does not comply with the provisions of this chapter, and set forth the relief requested from such determination or action.
C. Decision on Application for Administrative Review. The city manager shall consider an application for administrative review and render a decision affirming, reversing, or modifying the determination or action of the director. Prior to rendering a decision, the city manager may convene an informal hearing for the purpose of reviewing evidence or hearing arguments bearing on such decision. Notice of the date, time, and place of such hearing shall be given to the director, the applicant for administrative review, and the permittee, if any, within a reasonable time prior to such hearing. After rendering a decision, the city manager shall promptly inform the director of the decision and shall cause a notice of the decision to be served on the applicant for administrative review and the permittee, if any.
D. Stay of Determination Pending Administrative Review. Any determination made or action taken by the director in accordance with this chapter, except for an order to stop work issued by the director or the commencement or prosecution of work by the director to remove or remedy a condition in a public right-of-way which threatens or impairs safe usage of the public right-of-way, shall be stayed pending the city manager’s decision on the application for administrative review.
