Such appeal shall be set for hearing by the council at a date not later than thirty (30) days after the filing of the notice of appeal. The city clerk shall thereupon notify the appellant that the council has set its hearing upon the appeal and inform the appellant that he or she will be heard in the matter.
The council may continue its hearing on such appeal from time to time. It may hear evidence from competent persons as may be desired. It may return the matter to the chief of police for further information or further investigation. The council may affirm, reject or modify the decision of the chief of police in regards to the granting or denial of an application, or conditions attached to a license. (Prior code § 5.07.074)
