§ 9-5-3 APPEAL OF NOTICE (NONEMERGENCY).
   A.   The owner, tenant, lessee, or occupant may appeal the Director's notice, in writing, to the City Manager within 30 calendar days after the notice has been served on any of the mentioned persons or was properly posted. The appeal shall be delivered personally or by registered or certified mail. The appellant's filing of an appeal, as provided hereunder, shall stay any further action pursuant to the Director's notice until the City Manager renders his or her decision on the matter. The appeal shall, at a minimum, identify the appellant(s), describe his or her interest in the property, and explain the appellant's basis for objection to the notice. The City Manager shall uphold, reverse, or modify the Director's notice and notify the appellant, by certified or registered mail, of his or her decision. The City Manager's decision shall constitute an exhaustion of all the appellant's administrative remedies for purposes of this section.
   B.   If the City Manager upholds or modifies the Director's decision, he or she shall provide the owner, tenant, lessee, or occupant with an additional 30 days from the date of mailing his or her decision to the appellant, to the address provided by the appellant, to bring the property into compliance with city codes in accordance with his or her decision.
§ 9-5-4 COMPULSORY REMOVAL (NONEMERGENCY).
   If, within 30 days after the Director has given notice, as provided under § 9-5-2, the refuse or debris described in the notice is not removed, and the owner, lessee, tenant, or occupant has not appealed the notice to the City Manager, as provided under § 9-5-3, the Director may then remove, or cause to be removed, the refuse or debris and shall subject the owner, lessee, tenant, or occupant to liability as provided in § 9-5-9.
§ 9-5-5 WAIVER OF REQUIREMENT TO GIVE NOTICE (EMERGENCY).
   Notwithstanding any requirements for notice provided under § 9-5-2, the City Manager may declare certain violations of §§ 9-2-5C., 9-4-1, or 9-4-2 to be "an extreme and present danger to the public health and safety," which requires the city to take immediate action for the public welfare. The City Manager shall make his or her determination in writing, describing with particularity the reasons for the determination.
