A. Should any applicant be dissatisfied with the decision of the finance director or designee not to grant a permit or should any sidewalk vendor desire to appeal the issuance of an administrative fine, or revocation of a permit, then said applicant or sidewalk vendor may, no later than ten days after notice of such decision is deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the applicant or sidewalk vendor at the address provided on the application, make written objection to the city manager or designee setting forth the grounds for dissatisfaction, whereupon the city manager or designee shall hear said objections at a hearing set within a reasonable period of time following the filing of the objection with the city clerk. The applicant shall be given written notice no less than three days prior to the hearing. The city manager or designee may, upon said hearing, sustain, suspend or overrule the decision of the finance director or designee, which decision shall be final and conclusive.

B. Pending the hearing before the city manager or designee, the decision of the finance director or designee shall remain in full force and effect and any reversal thereof by the city manager or designee shall not be retroactive but shall take effect as of the date of the decision. (Ord. 4955 § 1, 2018; Ord. 4772 § 1, 2014; Ord. 3522 § 2, 1993)
