(d) Any party -in -interest who believes that new evidence has been improperly introduced into the appeal hearing may, at any time during the hearing, interrupt the pro- ceedings and object to the Council's consideration of such evidence. If such an objection is made, the Mayor shall rule on the objection, after consultation With the City Attorney if necessary, and the evidence shall either be received and considered by the Council or disregarded by the Council in accordance with the ruling of the Mayor; provided, however, that the Mayor's ruling on this or any other procedural issue raised during the course of the hearing may be overridden by a majority of the Council. The failure of a party -in -interest to make such an objection shall constitute a waiver of the same by that party -in -interest for the purpose of any court appeal of the Council's decision. (e) In considering an allegation that a board, commis- sion or other decision maker failed to properly interpret and apply the relevant provisions of the Code or Charter asserted under Paragraph 2-48(b)(1) of this Article, the City Council shall determine how such provisions should, in the City Council's judgment, be applied to the evidence contained in the record on appeal.
