Whenever a person or agency has a right or is required to take action within a period prescribed or allowed by this chapter, the council, upon motion and the concurrence of a majority of all the members to which the council is entitled, may permit the act to be done after expiration of the specified period if the delinquency is clearly shown to have been the result of excusable neglect and the council will still have enough time to comply with applicable statutory time limits.
