§ 30-1361. Suspension or revocation.

(a)

No permit issued by the city to any person under this division shall be suspended or revoked, except for due cause, as provided in subsection (b) of this section, and after a hearing and upon a prior five-day written notice to the holder of such permit of the time, place and purpose of such hearing and a statement of the charge upon which such hearing shall be held.

(b)

Due cause for the suspension or revocation of such permit shall consist of the violation of any laws or sections of this Code or other ordinances regulating such businesses or for the violation of any sections of this Code or other city ordinances other than the sections of this Code pertaining to traffic.

(c)

The license review board shall conduct the hearing and report its conclusions and recommendations to the mayor. The mayor, upon receiving the recommendation of the license review board, may, within 60 calendar days of receipt of said recommendation, impose a fine against, or revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew any existing permit. In addition, within said 60-day period, if the mayor determines there is a need to correct a clear error or prevent a manifest injustice, the mayor may remand the matter back to the license review board for further hearing. If the mayor fails to take action within the 60-day period, the recommendation of the license review board shall become the final decision of the mayor.

(d)

The police chief is delegated the authority to suspend any such permit for due cause or in any emergency situation, and the suspension may be made effective immediately and remain in force until the next regular or called meeting of the license review board.
