(a) The appellant shall file a notice of appeal with the City Clerk within fourteen (14) days after service of the notice of the administrative decision concerned, or, if there is no such service or none is required, no later than fourteen (14) days after the date of the decision that is the subject of the appeal.
(b) A written notice of appeal must contain the following information:
(1) The full name, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number of the appellant;
(2) A description of the specific action or decision being appealed, including the date of the action; and
(3) The grounds for appeal in sufficient detail to enable the hearing officer to understand the nature of the controversy.
(c) If the City Clerk does not receive a timely notice of appeal, if the notice of appeal is incomplete, or if the notice of appeal does not comply with all of the requirements set forth in this section, the right to appeal the action is waived. In this event, the action is final and binding. A failure to file a timely or proper notice of appeal also constitutes a failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
