The Applicant or other interested party may appeal the decision of the Chief of Police to the City Council within 10 days after said decision is filed with the City Clerk. Said appeal shall be in writing and filed with the City Clerk upon forms provided by the Police Department, and shall specify the reasons the appellant believes there was an error in the decision of the Chief of Police. If an appeal is filed within the time limit specified, it automatically stays proceedings in the matter until a determination is made by the City Council. (Ord. 2705 § 2, 1997).
