(A) Scope and commencement. An appeal may be taken from any decision of the Administrative Official by any person aggrieved or by any official, department or bureau of the village affected by the decision. The appeal shall be taken within the time as shall be provided by the rules of the Board, by filing with the Administrative Official and with the Board a notice of appeal specifying the grounds thereof. The Administrative Official shall forthwith transmit to the Board all papers constituting the record upon which the decision appealed from was taken.
(B) Stay of proceedings. An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the decision appealed from unless the Administrative Official certifies to the Board after the notice of appeal has been filed with him or her that by reason of the facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In that case the proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Board or by a court of record on application, on notice to the Administrative Official and on due cause shown.
(C) Hearing, notice and decision. The Board shall fix a reasonable time and place for the hearing for appeal, give public notice thereof as well as due notice to the parties in interest, and decide the appeal within a reasonable time. Any party may appear at the hearing in person or by agent or attorney. With the concurring vote of four members, the Board may, as long as its action is in conformity with this chapter, reverse or affirm in whole or in part or modify the decision from which the appeal was taken, and to that end the Board shall have all the powers of the Administrative Official with respect to the decision.
(D) Maintenance of records. The Administrative Official shall maintain complete records of all actions of the Board relative to appeals, and shall cause the Board of Trustees to be kept informed on a current basis of the disposition of each appeal.
