The hearings by Council can be suspended and rescheduled at the discretion of the President pro temp of Council. The appellant and appellee shall be permitted to present evidence and argument. Council shall then either affirm or reverse the decision of the Mayor. The Mayor's decision may be reversed only by a two-thirds vote of Council.
