(A)
All appeals from final suspension or revocation of a food establishment permit shall be made in writing to the City Manager. The appeal shall be filed in writing within ten days of the occurrence of the suspension or revocation. The City Manager shall consider the appeal within 30 days after notice of the appeal. The City Manager shall have the power to reverse a decision of the regulatory authority by making a finding that such a reversal will not adversely affect the health and/or welfare of the public. A decision of the City Manager regarding an appeal shall be rendered in writing.
(B) All decisions of the City Manager shall be subject to review by the City Council at one of its regularly scheduled meetings if the appellant files a further appeal in writing with the City Secretary not more than 30 days after the City Manager renders a decision reversing or upholding a decision of the regulatory authority. The decision of the City Manager will be final unless appealed to the City Council within 30 days, and unless reversed by the City Council. The City Council’s failure to take action on any such appeal, or failure to set such an appeal as an agenda item for consideration at a regularly scheduled meeting, shall constitute approval of the decision by the City Manager.
