All taxpayers aggrieved by the amount of the fee or tax found by the City Clerk 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 within five days from the time such taxpayer was given notice of such amount. The Clerk shall, as soon as practicable, fix a time and place for the hearing of such appeal, which time shall be not later than the next scheduled regular Council meeting more than six days after the filing of the notice of 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 shall be entitled to be heard and to introduce evidence in his own behalf. The City Council shall thereupon ascertain the correct amount of the fee or tax by resolution and the City Clerk shall immediately notify the appellant thereof, which amount, together with costs of appeal, if appellant is unsuccessful therein, must be paid within three days after such notice is given.
