Any permittee who violates or permits a violation of the laws of the state, county or of the city within such permitted establishment shall be liable to have his or her permit suspended or revoked by the Council. The Council shall also have the right to suspend or revoke such permit whenever it is shown to its satisfaction that the activity so licensed is being conducted in a manner which is detrimental to the health, morals, peace or safety of the community; provided, however, that any suspension or revocation should be ordered only after the Council has followed the procedure set out in § 5.18.120; and provided, further, however, that when such permit is suspended or revoked, the Council shall notify the permittee in writing and give the reason for such suspension or revocation. When a permit has been revoked, no other permit shall be issued to the same permittee within one year.
