Any person aggrieved by any decision of the director with respect to the issuance of or refusal to issue a license or the amount of a license tax may appeal such decision to the council by filing a notice of appeal with the city clerk within five days of such decision. The city clerk shall fix a time and place for hearing such appeal, and the city clerk shall give notice in writing to such person of the time and place of hearing by personal service or by depositing it with the U.S. Postal Service, postage prepaid, at Wasco, California, addressed to such person at the address appearing on said person’s last license or application. The findings of the council shall be final and conclusive and shall be served upon the applicant in the manner prescribed above for service of notice of the hearing.

The amount of any license tax finally determined as provided in this section or Section 5.04.210 shall be due and payable as of the date the original license tax was due and payable together with any penalties that may be due thereon; provided, however, if the amount of such license tax shall be fixed in accordance with the original statement of the applicant, then no penalty shall attach by reason of any delinquency. (Ord. 635; Ord. 473 §1, 2002).
