Any person who feels that any fee or charge determined and set by the city manager is in excess of the percentage of costs reasonably borne to be recovered as set out in CMC 3.40.040, or that such fee or charge has been reviewed prior to or has not been reviewed within the review schedule as set out in CMC 3.40.040, may appeal in writing to the city council.

No fee for which an appeal has been filed shall take effect until heard by the city council. Such appeal shall be placed on the agenda of the next ensuing council meeting after receipt of such appeal, and heard at the next ensuing council meeting. Such appealed fee or charge shall take effect immediately upon hearing by the city council unless ordered otherwise by ordinance amending this chapter. (Ord. 376 § 1. 2002 Code § 7-4.7).
