<br /> Page 1 <br />Sec. 2-41. - Right to administrative appeal. <br />Except as otherwise provided, if any person shall be aggrieved by any administrative decision of the <br />city administrator or any other city official, or any board or commission not having within its structure an <br />established review schedule or an appellate procedure, such aggrieved person is entitled to a full hearing <br />before the council upon serving a written request upon the mayor and city clerk at least seven days prior to <br />any regular council meeting. Such request shall contain a general statement setting forth the administrative <br />decision to be challenged by the appellant. At such hearing, the appellant may present any evidence he <br />deems pertinent to the appeal; but the city shall not be required to keep a verbatim record of the <br />proceedings. The mayor, or other officer presiding at the hearing, may, in the interest of justice or to comply <br />with time requirements and on the mayor's own motion or the motion of the appellant, the city clerk, or a <br />member of the council, adjourn the hearing to a more convenient time or place; but such time or place shall <br />be fixed and determined before adjournment so as to avoid the necessity for formal notice of reconvening. <br />An employee of the city who is aggrieved by an action or decision of another city employee that relates to <br />their employment shall exhaust the grievance procedures set forth in the administrative and personnel <br />policy before requesting a hearing before the city council. <br />(Code 1984, § 2.07)
