(A) If a person objects to the aforementioned billing by the Fire Chief or his or her designee of the City Fire Department, then the responsible party must file with the Fire Chief a written objection to the billed amount. Upon receipt of the written objection, the Fire Chief shall place the matter on the agenda of the City Common Council’s regularly-scheduled meeting and shall allow the responsible party an opportunity to object to the billing. The City Council shall then deliberate and issue a written opinion concerning the appropriateness of the billed amount.
(B) If the responsible party objects to the decision of the City Council, then a petition requesting judicial review of the City Council’s decision shall be filed with the County Court not later than 30 days from the date of the decision. The County Court Judge shall conduct a hearing on the petition as expeditiously as is consistent with the Court’s calendar.
(C) The decision of the County Court Judge shall be final unless the responsible party or the City Council appeals that decision to the appellate procedure for appeal of any civil matter.
