5.28.070 Appeal.

A. The licensee or bingo manager may appeal any finding, determination or decision of the city manager to the city council, if a written appeal is filed within ten days after the licensee or bingo manager receives notice of such finding, determination or decision, and if the appeal sets forth the specific ground or grounds thereof.
B. The city council shall hold a hearing on the appeal within thirty days after its receipt by the city, or at a time thereafter agreed upon, and shall cause interested parties to be given at least ten days' written notice of such hearing. At the hearing, the appellant or the appellant's authorized representatives shall have the right to present evidence and a written or oral argument, or both, in support of the appeal. The determination of the city council on the appeal shall be final.
C. Any organization whose license is revoked shall not conduct any bingo games in the city unless and until such time as the city council, on appeal, determines to overrule the decision of the city manager.
D. Any organization whose license is finally revoked may not again apply for a license to conduct bingo games in the city for a period of one year from the date of such revocation; provided, however, if the ground for revocation is cancellation of the exemption granted under Section 23701(d) of the Revenue and Taxation Code, such organization may again apply for a license upon proof of reinstatement of said exemption.
