Any party who objects to the procedure followed in any particular matter, including bias, conflict of interest, and undisclosed ex parte contacts, must make a procedural objection prior to the City's rendering a final decision. Procedural objections may be raised at any time prior to a final decision, after which they are deemed waived. In making a procedural objection, the objecting party must identify the procedural requirement that was not properly followed and identify how the alleged procedural error harmed that person's substantial rights. (Ord. 688, 6-15-1999)
