All licenses issued under the provisions of this code may be revoked or suspended by the village council, with the exception of liquor licenses which may be revoked or suspended by the mayor as local liquor control commissioner, for any violation by any licensee of the provisions of this code, other ordinances or state laws relating to the business licensed hereunder or to the premises occupied. Any act or omission by any officer, director, agent or employee of the licensee which constitutes such a violation, if done with knowledge, authority or approval of the licensee, shall be deemed an act of the licensee for which the licensee shall be responsible. (Village code § 5-9; amd. 2004 Code)
A. The health officer, director of public health and safety or chief of police shall have the authority to suspend any license, other than liquor licenses, when there is good cause to believe that either the public health or public safety will be endangered by continuance of any licensed business operation. Notice of such suspension will be given to the licensee and village council and shall cite the violation giving rise to the suspension. The licensee shall be given an immediate emergency hearing by the village council who shall determine the length of suspension and/or revocation of the license.
B. In the case of revocations, other than liquor licenses, the health officer, director of public health and safety, chief of police or village clerk shall give notice of intent to revoke any license to the licensee and village council three (3) days prior to a hearing on the intended revocation. All notices of intent to revoke shall cite the violation. The village council may then revoke or suspend any such license for any period as deemed necessary to correct the violations cited. Revocation of any license may be determined as indefinite or permanent. (Village code § 5-9; amd. 2004 Code; Ord. O-7-10, 2-8-2010)
