Chapter 1.25
APPEALS
Sections:
1.25.010 Right to appeal.
Except where an appeals procedure is otherwise specifically set forth in this Code, any person excepting to the denial, suspension or revocation of a permit applied for or held by him pursuant to any of the provisions of this Code, or to any administrative decision made by any official of the City, if the denial, suspension or revocation of such permit or the determination of such administrative decision involves the exercise of administrative discretion or personal judgment exercised pursuant to any of the provisions of this Code, may appeal in writing to the Council by filing with the City Clerk a written notice of such appeal, setting forth the specific grounds thereof.
No right of appeal to the Council from any administrative decision made by an official of the City pursuant to any of the provisions of this Code shall exist when such decision is ministerial and thus does not involve the exercise of administrative discretion or personal judgment exercised pursuant to any of the provisions of this Code, whether the administrative decision involves the denial, suspension or revocation of a permit or any other administrative decision. (Ord. 1062 § 1 (part), 1991)
1.25.020 Time for filing.
The appellant shall file a notice of appeal with the City Clerk within ten days after notice of the administrative decision concerned. (Ord. 1062 § 1 (part), 1991)

Upon the filing of the notice of appeal in proper form, the City Clerk shall place the matter on a Council agenda at least ten days, and no more than sixty days, after the date of the filing of the notice of appeal. The City Clerk shall cause a written notice of the hearing to be given to the appellant not less than ten days prior to such hearing. (Ord. 1062 § 1 (part), 1991)
1.25.040 Hearings—Action.
At the hearing before the City Council, the appellant shall show cause on the grounds set forth in the notice of appeal why the action appealed from should not be approved.
