(a) A nonresidential property owner may challenge the ERU multiple assigned his or her property by filing an appeal with the City Administrator for adjustment thereof, stating in writing the grounds for the appeal. The Manager shall cause appropriate investigation thereof and report the findings to the property owner. The Manager shall consider the appeal and determine whether an adjustment of the ERU multiple for any such lot or parcel is necessary, and adjust such ERU multiple if appropriate.
(b) If the property owner is not satisfied with the findings, an administrative hearing may be requested. At the hearing, both the property owner and the City Administrator may present evidence to a hearing examiner. After consideration, the hearing examiner shall issue a written decision to the parties, which shall be the final decision of the Department of Public Utilities.
