               any other rents, rates, fees, charges, or penalties adopted pursuant to this division,
               that citizen must submit a written appeal within 45 calendar days from the date of
               billing, stating the reasons for the appeal, and providing information pertinent to
               the calculation of the billed charge. A timely appeal shall stay the penalty deadlines.
               An appeal of a disputed bill shall be filed with the stormwater utility manager for
               review and disposition. If the citizen is not satisfied with the disposition of the
               appeal, the citizen may further appeal the disputed charge to the county manager or
               his/her designee who shall make the final ruling on the validity of the appeal. A
               written appeal to the county manager must be submitted within 14 calendar days after
               receiving a decision from the stormwater utility manager. If a written appeal to the
               county manager is not received within 14 calendar days, the decision of the stormwater
               utility manager becomes final.
