(a) A person who receives the warning or notice letter referred to in Section 555.02 or Section 555.03(a) may appeal such warning, notice or order by submitting a written request for reconsideration to the Chief of Police within ten days of receiving the letter. Such written request shall include the reasons the person feels that warning, notice or order is not justified or that the person should not be named in the notice and any mitigating circumstances. If the Chief of Police finds that the facts do not support the notice or warning he shall rescind the notice. Otherwise the Chief shall advise the person in writing that the request for reconsideration has been denied and that the person may appeal to the Moral Claims Commission. The person may appeal the denial of the request for reconsideration by submitting a letter to the Moral Claims Commission setting forth the reasons for appeal. The Moral Claims Commission, after reviewing the facts, shall render a decision as to whether the warning or notice shall stand and notify the parties in writing. During the appeal process, the City has the right to abate further nuisances and to assess the costs providing the City ultimately prevails in the appeal process.
(b) If a person appeals the Chief's decision, the thirty day period in which a person must pay the costs of abatement stays until a final decision is rendered.
