If the City Secretary denies the issuance or renewal of a permit or suspends or revokes a permit, the City Secretary shall send to the applicant or permittee, by certified mail, return receipt requested, written notice of the action and the right to an appeal. The aggrieved party may appeal the decision of the City Secretary to the City Manager. In the event of a suspension or revocation, the filing of an appeal and the posting of a cash bond in the amount of $500 shall stay the action of the City Secretary until the City Manager makes a final decision. The City Manager shall determine the manner and procedure for hearing such an appeal, and shall hear the appeal within 60 days of filing at a date, place and time determined by the City Manager. If, after such hearing, the City Manager denies the appeal or in the event the aggrieved party fails to fully prosecute the requested appeal to a conclusion, the $500 cash bond previously posted shall be forfeited as costs and remainder of any suspension or revocation shall be fully implemented. The decision of the City Manager shall be final.
