Penalty, see § 110.99
(A) Any license may be revoked by the executive or other chief administrative officer at any time for conditions or considerations which, had they existed at the time of issuance, would have been valid grounds for its denial; for any misrepresentation of a material fact in the application discovered after issuance of the
license; for violation of any provision of this chapter or other law or ordinance relating to the operation of the business or enterprise for which the license has been issued; or upon conviction of a licensee for any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance involving moral turpitude.
(B) The revocation shall become effective upon notice served upon the licensee or posted upon the premises affected.
(C) As a preliminary to revocation, the executive or other chief administrative officer may issue an order suspending the license, which shall become effective immediately upon service of written notice to the licensee. This notice shall specify the reason for suspension, and may provide conditions under which reinstatement of the license may be obtained. Upon compliance with these conditions within the time specified, the license may be restored.
In case any applicant has been denied a license, or if his license has been revoked or suspended, the applicant or licensee as the case may be, shall within three business days have the right to appeal to the legislative body from the denial, revocation, or suspension. Notice of appeal shall be filed in writing with the Clerk-Treasurer who shall fix the time and place for a hearing which shall be held not later than one week thereafter. The Clerk-Treasurer shall notify the executive and all members of the legislative body of the time and place of the hearing not less than 24 hours in advance thereof. A majority of the legislative body members shall constitute a quorum to hear the appeal. The appellant may appear and be heard in person or by counsel. If, after hearing, a majority of the members of the legislative body present at the meeting declare in favor of the applicant, the license shall be issued or fully reinstated as the case may be; otherwise the order appealed from shall become final.
Whoever violates any provision of this chapter shall be fined as set forth below. A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day that a violation occurs or continues.
(A) First violation shall be a minimum fine not less than $100.
(B) Second violation shall be a minimum fine not less than $200.
(C) Third and subsequent violation shall be a minimum fine not less than $500.
