A. Any licensee or applicant aggrieved by the decision of the city manager in denying, suspending, or revoking a license may, within ten (10) days after such decision is delivered or sent to the licensee in writing, appeal to the city council by filing a written notice of appeal with the city clerk and paying an appeal fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00). During the pendency of an appeal of a suspension or revocation, the license shall remain in effect.
B. If such appeal is not taken within ten (10) days, the decision of the city manager shall be final. If a timely appeal is filed, the city council shall thereupon hold a hearing on the appeal. The decision may deny, suspend or revoke the permit, if the city council finds any of the grounds specified in Section 5.24.110 or 5.24.130(A) of this chapter. The city council's decision shall be final forthwith.
C. Judicial review may be had by filing a petition for a writ of mandate in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure. Any such petition shall be filed within thirty (30) days after the day the decision of the city council becomes final. (Prior code § 18.01.113)
