§ 23-36. Suspension or revocation.  


Latest version.
  • If any licensee under this article is convicted of any theft, fraud, or felony, or gives false or misleading information in the material submitted to the city building official or chief of police or his duly authorized representative during the application process, the city building official shall have the right, power and authority to cancel, revoke, or suspend such license for any period of time after first giving to such licensee written notice of the violations complained of and after allowing for an informal meeting between the city building official and the licensee to discuss such suspension or revocation. In addition, if a licensee is convicted of any three violations of this ordinance within a two-year period as measured from infraction date of first violation to the infraction date of third violation, the city building official shall cause the indefinite revocation of license held by licensee. The licensee shall have the right to appeal any such action to the city council. Such appeal must be exercised by the licensee filing written notice thereof with the city secretary within ten (10) days after the city building official's decision. The hearing before the city council on such appeal shall be de novo and, after such hearing, the city council shall announce its decision by motion or other appropriate action. The licensee shall be permitted to continue operating his business pending final action by the city council. Upon license revocation, all rights to operate within city jurisdiction shall cease, regardless of number of locations in operation by licensee.
