(A) Authority and basis for revocation or suspension. All licenses issued by the town shall be subject to revocation by the duly authorized officer of the Town Board upon any breach of any condition prescribed by ordinance for the regulation of such licensed occupation or in the event such licensee operates such licensed occupation or business in violation of the laws of the town or the state or in violation of any law or regulation of the United States Government. The DULY AUTHORIZED OFFICER shall mean the town’s Clerk-Treasurer in all instances, except when some other person or board is given the authority by ordinance to revoke or suspend the particular license.
(B) Notice of revocation or suspension.
(1) The duly authorized officer shall either give written notice by personal service or by mail to the licensee of the revocation of his or her license, or the suspension of the same, which notice, if mailed, shall be mailed to the address given on the application or license.
(2) The license shall stand revoked or suspended from the time of the giving of such notice.
(C) Appeals. Any licensee may appeal to the Town Board from such decision within ten days after the aforesaid notice by filing a written request with the town’s Clerk-Treasurer for a hearing. The hearing shall be held by the Town Board at the next regular meeting following the filing of the appeal, but may be continued from day to day. The appealing licensee may be represented by counsel, and the hearing shall be conducted in an informal manner, but no license shall be revoked or suspended, except upon a preponderance of the evidence. The Board may affirm, modify or vacate the order of revocation or suspension, and its decision shall be final.
