(A) Any license or permit granted under this chapter may be revoked by the City Administrator because of any violation of this chapter, or other city ordinances, state or federal law, or whenever the licensee ceases to meet the criteria required in this chapter for a license to solicit or peddle. In the event that the City Administrator determines that revocation of a license is warranted, the applicant shall be given notice of the revocation and an opportunity to contest the revocation. Notice of the revocation shall be given in writing, setting forth specifically the grounds for the complaint. Such notice shall be mailed to the licensee at his or her last-known address as listed on the application. The licensee may contest the revocation by giving written notice to the City Administrator, within five (5) days of service, of the intention to contest the revocation of license and listing arguments why the revocation should be reversed. The licensee shall appear before the City Administrator on a date and time specified by the City Administrator. The licensee shall bear the burden of proof to show that the license should not be revoked. All decisions to revoke a license made by the City Administrator shall be final.
(B) Once the City Administrator has revoked a licensee’s license, he/she shall immediately cease and desist all soliciting and peddling activities in the city, and shall cause any peddlers or solicitors under his/her direction, control, or supervision, to cease and desist all such activity until and unless the license is re-instated by the City Administrator.
