The Director may temporarily suspend any nonexclusive franchise without a hearing, whenever the continued operation by the franchisee would constitute a danger to public health, safety, welfare or public morals, including, without limitation, where there is a failure to maintain the minimum levels and standards of liability insurance or claims reserve or failure to keep in full force and effect any applicable licenses or permits required by federal, state or local law. The notice of temporary suspension shall be either (1) personally delivered to the party named and to the address given on the application pursuant to which such franchise was issued, or (2) mailed by certified mail to the party named at the address given on the application pursuant to which such franchise was issued. The temporary suspension is effective upon the earlier of either delivery of said notice or the expiration of five (5) days from the date of mailing. The notice of temporary suspension shall include a notice of the date and time for a termination hearing and all other information required by Section 4.73.100. The temporary suspension shall remain effective until the decision on termination by the City Council is made pursuant to Section 4.73.100 or unless and until the suspension is earlier lifted by written notice of the Director. By mutual agreement, the time limitations provided in Section 4.73.100 may be modified to avoid unnecessary hardship. (Ord. 5765 § 1; April 24, 2001: Ord. 6456 § 1 (part); January 15, 2019.)
