A property owner shall have 15 days from the date of mailing by the city of the bill for the cost of removal of graffiti from the owner’s property to file a written appeal of the costs. The appeal must be submitted in writing to the City Clerk. Upon receipt of the written appeal, the City Clerk shall schedule a hearing before the City Council. The City Manager shall be so notified and shall submit a written report to the City Council, with a copy to the appealing party, setting forth justifications for the description of the work done and the cost thereof. The City Clerk shall notify the party appealing of the date and time of the hearing before the City Council, at least ten days in advance of such hearing. At the time and place of such hearing, the City Manager shall present his or her report and the appealing party shall present any and all information in opposition to the calculation of the cost of removal. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Council shall determine what cost, if any, is to be imposed upon the appealing party.
