In the event of a denial by the Health Officer of a permit as required by this chapter for any reason other than nonpayment of the required fees or failure to file a proper application, the applicants may appeal in writing to the City Council from the decision of the Health Officer. The City Council shall hold a public hearing at their next regular meeting, provided said meeting is at least 10 days from the receipt of said written appeal by the City Clerk of the City. The Health Officer shall appear at the hearing and render his report to the City Council. At the conclusion of the hearing or any continuance thereof, the City Council may affirm the action of the Health Officer, reverse the action of the Health Officer, or take such other action as the City Council deems appropriate.
