781.08 APPEALS.
   Any person or entity aggrieved by a finding, determination, notice or action taken under the provisions of this chapter, may appeal to Council and shall be apprised of his/her right to appeal. An appeal must be perfected within three days after receipt of notice of any protested decision or action by filing with the Clerk of Council a letter of appeal briefly stating therein the basis for such appeal. Such appeal shall then be placed upon the agenda of the next Council meeting for hearing. It shall be the burden of the appellant to show cause why the determination of the City Manager should not be upheld. In all such cases, the burden of proof shall be upon the appellant to show that there was no substantial evidence to support the action taken by the City Manager. At the conclusion of the hearing, Council shall make a final and conclusive determination. A majority vote of the councilmen elected shall be required to reverse or modify the decision of the City Manager.
