(Adopting Ordinance)
(b) Stay. An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the designated County and/or Village officer(s) certifies to the Board after notice of appeal has been filed with him or her that by reason of facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property, in which case the proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order, which may be granted by the Board or, upon application, by a court of record.
(c) Fees. A fee as established by Council shall be paid to the Secretary at the time of filing the application with the Board. The purpose of such fee is to cover, in part, the necessary advertisements, investigations and other expenses incurred by the Board in connection with the appeal.
