B. The appeal shall be considered by the City Manager or designee within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving the appeal. Action by the Code Enforcement Officer or City Forester shall be stayed until the decision of the City Manager or designee is rendered, unless the Code Enforcement Officer or City Forester certifies to the City Manager or designee, after notice of appeal shall have been filed with him or her, that by reason of the facts stated in the petition, a stay would, in his or her opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In such a case, proceedings shall not be stayed unless an injunction has been obtained from a court of record.
