(A) Violation. The city manager may refuse to renew a license or may revoke or suspend an existing license on the grounds that the applicant or license holder has failed to comply with the license conditions or other requirements of this chapter. If in reviewing the application for renewal, the city manager, or designee thereof, determines that the application will likely be denied, then the city manager, or designee thereof, shall cause an administrative hearing to be held within ten days from the date on which the complete application was filed with the city. At the hearing, the applicant may present evidence supporting the application or contradicting the evidence presented by the city. If a suspended license lapses during the suspension period, a new application must be made at the end of the suspension period. In any such case, the applicant or license holder shall have the right to appeal to the City Council in the time and manner set forth in this section.
(B) Revocation and Suspension.
(1) The city manager, or designee thereof, may revoke or refuse to renew a figure model license if he or she makes any of the findings for denial of a license under § 5.08.260(C) or § 5.08.280, or upon any subsequent violation of any provision of this chapter within one year following a prior suspension under subsection (2) below.
(2) The city manager, or designee thereof, may suspend a figure model license for a period of 30 days for any violation of the provisions of this chapter.
(C) Notice. When the city manager concludes that grounds for denial, suspension, revocation or refusal to renew a license exist, the city manager shall serve the applicant or license holder, either personally or by certified mail addressed to the business or residence address of the applicant or license holder, with a notice of denial or notice of intent to suspend, revoke or refusal to renew license. In the event certified mail is used, the Notice shall also be sent by regular first-class mail to the same address with postage fully paid thereon. This notice shall state the reasons for the proposed action, the effective date of the decision if no appeal is filed by applicant or license holder, and the right of the applicant or license holder to appeal to the City Council.
(D) Appeal. The applicant or license holder may appeal the decision of the city manager by following the same procedures as set forth in § 5.08.040(E) of this chapter.
