6. Since the submission of the application, a final civil judgment has been entered against the applicant indicating that: a) the applicant had either engaged in fraud, or intentional misrepresentation, or b) a debt of the applicant was nondischargeable in bankruptcy pursuant to 11 USC section 523(a)(2), (a)(4), (a)(6), or (a)(19);
7. Failure to allow the required inspection; or
8. The applicant is determined to have a "disqualifying status" as defined herein.
B. Suspension Or Revocation: The city shall either suspend or revoke a license when any of the reasons warranting the denial of a license occurs.
C. Notice Of Denial, Suspension Or Revocation: Upon determination of the licensing official to deny an applicant's completed application or to suspend or revoke a license, the city shall cause written notice to be sent to the applicant. The notice shall specify the grounds for the denial, suspension, or revocation; the documentation or information the city relied on to make the decision; the availability of the documentation for review by applicant upon notice to the city; and the date upon which the denial, suspension, or revocation of the license shall take effect. It shall further state that the applicant shall have ten (10) business days from the receipt of the notice of denial, suspension, or revocation to appeal the same. The denial, suspension, or revocation of the license shall be effective immediately. The denial or suspension shall remain effective unless and until the order is rescinded, overturned on appeal, or determined by a court to be contrary to equity or law. Failure to appeal the suspension of a license automatically results in its revocation. (Ord. 11-21-2006A, 11-21-2006; amd. Ord. 3-20-2012A, 3-20-2012)
