(a) Filing. The denial, suspension, or revocation of a mobile food vendor permit by the permit administrator may be appealed by filing a written notice of appeal, establishing the grounds for the appeal, with the City Manager or designee no later than ten (10) business days following receipt of the notice of denial, suspension, or revocation.
(b) City Manager's Review. When an appeal is filed with the City Manager as set forth herein, the City Manager or his designee may request such additional information from the operator and the permit administrator as may be deemed necessary. At the City Manager's or designee's discretion, the appeal may be decided based on the written information and documentation submitted, or a hearing may be scheduled with the operator and the permit administrator. The City Manager's decision shall be issued in writing, based on a written summation of the pertinent facts, and shall be final. The City Manager may reverse the denial, suspension, or revocation of a permit, or may reduce the waiting period required for reinstatement of a revoked permit if it is determined that the operator has taken reasonable steps to mitigate the violations leading to the revocation and to prevent future violations.
(c) Refunds. There shall be no refund of an application fee for a mobile food vendor permit that has been denied. There shall be no refund of a reinstatement fee for a suspended or revoked permit unless the City Manager or his designee determines on appeal that the permit administrator acted in error in suspending or revoking the permit.
