There is created the Amusement Device Board of Appeals consisting of the Safety- Service Director, who shall be Chairman, the City Treasurer, who shall be Secretary, and the City Solicitor. An applicant for a license who has been refused a license or a licensee whose license has been suspended or revoked, as provided in Section 731.11 herein, may appeal to such Board within ten days after the date of mailing by the Mayor of the notice of denial, suspension or revocation, by filing written notice of such appeal with the chairman of the Board. The Board shall consider such appeal within five days after the date upon which written appeal is filed with the Board. The Board may, in its discretion, consider such appeal, either solely upon the evidence considered by the Mayor in cases of denial, suspension or revocation of license respectively, or may consider such appeal de novo. Upon such hearing the Board shall affirm, disaffirm or modify such order of denial, suspension or revocation from which an appeal has been perfected, and the decision of the Board shall be final. The Board shall also hear appeals concerning licenses of mechanical musical instruments.
