7.34.090 SUMMARY SUSPENSION OF LICENSE PENDING OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING — MISDEMEANOR TO CONTINUE AFTER SUSPENSION — REVOCATION.
   .010   Whenever it appears to the City Manager that the licensee is conducting a bingo game in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, the City Manager shall have the authority to summarily suspend the license and order the licensee to immediately cease and desist any further operation of any bingo game.
   .020   Any person who continues to conduct a bingo game after any summary suspension thereof under subsection .010 of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and conviction thereof shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars or by imprisonment in jail for a period not exceeding six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
   .030   The order issued under subsection .010 of this section shall also notify the licensee that it shall have five days from the date of such order to request a hearing to determine whether such license shall be revoked. Failure to request, in writing, such hearing before the City Manager within said five-day period shall result in a revocation of the license.
   .040   Upon such request for a hearing by any licensee whose license has been suspended under subsection .010 of this section, the City Manager shall provide such hearing within ten days after receipt of such request at which hearing the suspended licensee may appear before the City Manager for the purpose of presenting evidence why the license should not be revoked. No license shall be revoked under this section unless notice of the time and place of such hearing shall have first been given at least five days before the hearing thereof by depositing in the United States mail a notice directed to said suspended licensee at the address given in the application. The notice shall set forth a summary of the ground advanced as the basis of the suspension and revocation. Any decision by the City Manager to revoke said license shall be given in writing to the licensee by depositing a copy thereof in the United States mail. Said notice shall state the grounds for such revocation.
   .050   Any organization whose license is revoked by the City Manager under subsection .040 of this section shall have the right to appeal such decision to the City Council in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 7.34.110. However, such organization shall not conduct any bingo game in the City unless and until such time as the City Council, on appeal, determines to overrule the decision of the City Manager.
