(a) Every citizen who shall be held to be in violation of any rule, regulation or directive of the municipality through its normal governmental operation shall have recourse by appeal to council except for those violations handled by the courts.

(c) Council shall have the right to deny the petition or to alter, amend or rescind the rule, regulation or directive, as its investigation shall advise. (Prior code § 1-4-18)
