At the hearing, the City Council shall hear the appellant or the appellant's representative and such other persons who wish to testify before the City Council in the determination of the appeal. At the close of the hearing, the City Council may affirm or modify the allotment assignment. The City Council's decision shall be final and binding on all parties. (§ 1, Ord. 769, eff.
