Upon the determination by the Director of Public Works, Police Chief, or Director of Community Development that a violation has occurred, the responsible contractor shall be notified via telephone with a certified letter to follow as soon as practicable. The contractor shall have 24 hours from earliest notice in which to correct the violation. If the conditions have not been corrected within that time, the city may take corrective action at the contractor's expense. Upon receipt of a third violation issued to a contractor, the contractor shall make written notice to all of their customers, within the city corporate limits, making them aware that another contractor licensed with the city may need to be contacted and contracted for said services. In the event of a third violation within any 12-month period, the Mayor or his or her designee shall revoke said contractor’s license. License revocation shall be effective 30 days from the date of the mailing of said letter to the contractor. Upon notice of revocation of license, the contractor shall contact by mail all customers within the limits of the city notifying all customers of the pending revocation of license and placing them on notice that customers may be required to obtain alternative waste removal services. Contractor may petition for reinstatement of his or her license within the 30-day period before the effective date of license revocation, which reinstatement requires approval of the City Council.
