Subd. 3. Scheduling and noticing appeal for hearing. In the event that an appeal is filed with the city administrator, the board of appeals shall fix a date for a hearing, which shall be held within ten business days from the date the appeal is filed. Subd. 4. Notice. The city administrator shall mail a notice of the date, time, place and subject of the hearing to the owner, occupants and any other known responsible parties. Subd. 5. Orders after an appeal. Following a hearing, any order of the board of appeals made pursuant to this section shall be forwarded to the city council who shall act upon the board of appeals recommendation at its next available meeting. The city council shall issue a decision in writing to the appealing party within ten days of the hearing. Any fines or penalties imposed must be paid no later than 30 days of the date of the order. The decision of the city council is final and may only be appealed to the Minnesota Court of Appeals by petitioning for a writ of certiorari pursuant to Minn. Stats. § 606.01.
Section 350.06 of the Norwood Young America Code of Ordinances establishes a formal appeal process for challenging orders or actions issued by the code official. Any person affected by such an order may file a written appeal with the city administrator, triggering a hearing before the board of appeals within ten business days. After the hearing, the board's recommendation goes to the city council, which issues a final written decision; that decision can only be further challenged in the Minnesota Court of Appeals via a writ of certiorari.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 350.06, property owners who receive a code official's notice or order have a narrow window — ten days or the correction period, whichever is shorter — to file a written appeal with the city administrator. A compliant operator generally keeps careful records of all notices received and submits a written appeal that clearly identifies the specific order being contested along with supporting facts. Operators also remain aware that any fines or penalties upheld by the city council must be paid within 30 days of the council's written order.
