9.40.070   Appeal.
   A.   Any person ordered to abate any sign pursuant to this chapter may file an appeal with the sign review committee. Such an appeal must be filed with the city clerk within twenty-four hours after written notice to abate a sign has been served except that if notice is served on a Friday, on a weekend, or a holiday, such notice of appeal shall be filed with the city clerk the next working day.
   B.   The sign review committee will hear the appeal within seventy-two hours after the appeal is filed with the city clerk unless a holiday or weekend intervenes, in which case the period of time for the sign review committee to hear the appeal is extended for the period of the weekend or holiday. Any notice of appeal of a notice to abate a sign will set forth the name of the person to be notified of the time and place the appeal shall be heard and where that person may be contacted.
   C.   Any person aggrieved by the action of the sign review committee may file an appeal with the city council. Notice of appeal to the city council shall be filed with the city clerk within seventy-two hours after the sign review committee has announced its decision.
   D.   Any appeal of a decision by the sign review committee to the city council will be heard by the council within two weeks of the date of the filing of the appeal.
(Ord. 73-4-699 § 2 (part): prior code § 15.05.070)
9.40.080   Stay of abatement on appeals.
   A.   Temporary signs in violation of this chapter shall be abated as required in this chapter and will not be permitted to remain even if an appeal has been filed. If the sign review committee finds that any temporary sign which has been ordered abated is in compliance with this chapter, such sign may be displayed after the decision of the sign review committee, even though an appeal of the decision of the sign review committee has been filed with the city council.
   B.   Any sign or signs, other than temporary signs, will be permitted to remain while an appeal of the notice to abate is being processed by either the sign review committee or the city council. On denial of an appeal by the sign review committee, the sign or signs that were the subject to the appeal must be abated within the time periods prescribed in Section 9.40.040 unless an appeal is filed with the city council, in which case the sign or signs must be abated within the time periods prescribed in Section 9.40.040 if the appeal is denied by the city council.
