The City Manager, or his designated representative, shall have the power to suspend or revoke any driver’s permit issued under this chapter after a hearing thereon, in the event the holder thereof has violated any provision of this chapter or has drunk or consumed intoxicating liquor while on duty, or failed to pass a mandatory testing for controlled substances, which violation, in the sound discretion of said official, shall be deemed sufficient evidence of the fact that said driver is not a competent person to operate a taxicab. Such suspension or revocation by the City Manager, or his designated representative, shall be forthwith reported to the owner last employing said driver. In the event of such revocation or suspension of a driver’s permit, such permit shall be forthwith surrendered to the City Manager, or his designated representative, by the holder thereof.
