Any owner of private real property or a real property right who claims there has been an unconstitutional taking of their property, without just compensation, shall petition for a review of a final decision of any city officer, employee, board, commission, or the council. Consistent with the separation of powers which is integral to the city's form of government, the council designates the mayor to hear and consider such petitions. The mayor may delegate such responsibility to another individual. (Ord. 1-95 § 1, 1995)
