At the time of filing an appeal, the appellant shall pay the required fee(s) as set forth in the City’s master fee schedule.

If the appellant claims an economic hardship in paying the appeal fee, he or she may submit an application for waiver of the appeal fee on forms provided by the City Manager for that purpose. The forms shall be substantially similar to those required of litigants initiating court proceedings in forma pauperis pursuant to Section 68511.3 of the Government Code. The forms shall be executed under penalty of perjury and contain a declaration as to the truthfulness and correctness of the information contained therein. Upon submittal of the completed forms, the appeal fee shall be waived, if justification is demonstrated.

Failure to submit the waiver forms or pay the appeal fee in a timely manner shall cause the appeal request to be automatically denied. Enforcement of the order to abate may then proceed as if no appeal request had been submitted.

If the appeal fee is paid and the hearing examiner finds there is no public nuisance, the appeal fee shall be refunded to the appellant without the payment of any interest which could have accrued. (Ord. 2718 § 1, 1998; Ord. 2506 § 1, 1992; Ord. 2187 § 2, 1987; Ord. 1655 § 1, 1975).
