Suspension shall be automatic if the 30-day period set forth in Step Three expires without the correction of the items or without further agreement between the city and the licensee. Notice of the suspension shall be in writing and shall be either personally delivered to the licensee or mailed to the licensee at its address as shown on the license. If this suspension is not appealed to the City Council within 15 days of the suspension notice, the license will be revoked. A licensee may appeal to the City Council at any step, but, in any event, no later than 15 days after the date of the suspension notice. The City Council may sustain the action of the city’s staff or may excuse the notice either with or without conditions.
