A person who challenges the City’s expenditure of SDC revenue shall file the challenge in writing with the city recorder stating the grounds for the challenge. A challenge to an SDC expenditure shall be void and of no legal effect if not received by the City within two years from the date of the first purchase order or other debt instrument executed by the City making all or part of that expenditure. On the City’s receipt of a valid challenge the city manager shall investigate the matter and shall issue a formal determination of the validity of the expenditure in writing within 30 days from the date the challenge is received. The city manager’s determination shall be final unless the person who filed the challenge appeals that determination in writing to the city recorder no later than 14 days after the date of the city manager’s determination. On receipt of a timely filed appeal the city recorder shall set the matter for public hearing at the next available regular meeting of the city council. The council after public hearing shall affirm, reject or modify the city manager’s determination based on the record made at the hearing by majority vote of those present; its vote on the matter shall be final.
