EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This Ordinance amends the City Code to create one standard procedure for appeals to the City
Manager of administrative decisions, when such an appeal is authorized by the Code.
There are approximately twely ectio s ' the de ai ntly authorize appeals to the City
10 Manager of certain decisions de or ac ns t tty em yees or officers,such as decisions
regarding pawnbroker,secondh le h -way c for licenses;decisions regarding
natural areas and recreation areas permits; and decisions regarding capital improvement expansion
fees. However, the appeals procedures outlined in those sections are not consistent,and sometimes
no procedure is specified at all. This could potentially create confusion both for the public and for
City staff.
The City Clerk's Office and City Attorney's Office looked at the current appeals procedures in the
Code, compared them to the procedure for appeals to the City Council, and developed a new,
standard procedure for appeals to the City Manager. This rocedure covers the filing of a notice of
appeal and what the notice sh d co t ' , pr 'd fo e w the notice for sufficiency, and
describes how a hearing will schedul and c d Wh existing Code provisions specify
additional requirements speci o a lar a appeal,t e requirements would be retained.
In addition, the procedure for appea s of decisions on special events permits under Section 23.5-8
will remain unchanged, as it provides for an expedited process.
