§ 2.177. Transmission of Record to City Clerk.

Any person desiring to appeal a decision or recommendation of a City board to the City Council must notify the City Clerk within five (5) calendar days of the date of the board's decision or recommendation. The City Clerk shall notify the appropriate City department(s) of the appeal. The City shall then have fifteen (15) days to prepare in writing and transmit to the City Clerk the City staff position on the matter for appeal, with such documentation as may be necessary to support the City staff's position. The City staff shall also deliver by mail or hand delivery a copy of their position statement, if filed, to the appellant. The City staff may decline to file a position statement and accompanying documentation, in which case the appeal shall be decided on the testimony and/or records submitted by the appellant and the record which was before the City board. The City Clerk shall, upon receipt of all documentation from the appellant and the City staff, transmit the same to the City Council for review and consideration. Timely notification of the appeal shall be jurisdictional; untimely filing shall result in an automatic denial of the appeal.
