Any taxpayer aggrieved by the amount of the fee or tax found by the city clerk-treasurer to be required under the provisions of this chapter may appeal to the city council from such finding by filing a written notice of appeal with the city clerk-treasurer within seven days from the time such taxpayer was given notice of such amount. The city clerk-treasurer shall as soon as practicable fix a time and place for the hearing of such appeal, and he shall cause a notice of the time and place thereof to be delivered or mailed to the appellant. At such hearing the taxpayer is entitled to be heard and to introduce evidence on his own behalf. The city council shall thereupon ascertain the correct amount of the fee or tax by resolution and the city clerk-treasurer shall immediately notify the appellant thereof, which amount together with the cost of appeal, if such applicant is unsuccessful therein, must be paid within five days after such notice is given. The mayor of the city of Selah may, by subpoena, require the attendance thereat of any person, and may also require him to produce any pertinent books and records. Any person served with such subpoena shall appear at the time and place therein stated, produce the records required, if any, and shall testify truthfully under oath administered by the mayor as to any matter required of him pertinent to the appeal, and it is unlawful for him to fail or refuse to do so. (Ord. 810, § 2, 1983.)
