Any applicant for a special event permit desiring to appeal an administrative decision concerning the denial or modification of a special event permit may petition the City Council if the decision was made by the City Manager. Any decision made by the City Council is final. All appeals shall be in writing, shall state the specific grounds for the appeal, and shall be delivered to the City Recorder within five (5) calendar days after the date the applicant received notice of the denial. An applicant may appeal the City Council’s decision by seeking judicial review with the district court, which review shall be limited to a review of the record. The district court shall presume the City Council’s decision is valid and shall review the record to determine whether or not the decision was arbitrary, capricious or illegal.
