The Committee shall, within 20 days after hearing an appeal, make its findings and decisions and report the findings and decisions to the individual or body vested with employment and discharge authority. If the individual or body vested with employment and discharge authority approves, the decision of the Grievance Committee shall be final, and copies of the decision shall be transmitted by the Committee to the employee, to the City Clerk and to the particular department or agency involved. If, however, the individual or body vested with employment and discharge authority rejects the decision of the Committee, it shall make its own decision without further hearing, and that decision shall be final, with copies transmitted to the employee and the employing agency.
