The city council shall, at the next regular city council meeting, fix the time and place for hearing the appeal and the city clerk shall cause notice in writing to be personally served by a peace officer upon the operator. The findings and decision of the city council shall be final and conclusive and shall be served upon the appellant in the manner prescribed for service of notice of hearing or by certified mail directed to the business operator's last known address. Any amount found to be due shall be immediately payable upon service of the findings and decision. (Ord. 95-15, 12-18-1995)
