1. Any fraud, misrepresentation or false statement contained in the application for the license.
2. Any violation by the licensee of this Chapter or other Village ordinances relating to the license, the subject matter of the license, or to the premises occupied.
3. Conviction of the licensee of any felony or of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude.
4. Failure of the licensee to pay any indebtedness, fine or penalty owing to the Village.
5. Refusal to permit inspections or interference with an authorized Village officer or employee while in the performance of his duties in making such inspections as provided in Section 2-1-2 herein.
6. When the conduct of any licensee, agent or employee is so inimical to the public health, safety and general welfare and/or the continued operation of the business constitutes a nuisance and thus gives rise to an emergency.
Said revocation, if ordered, shall not be in lieu of any other provision imposing a penalty for the violation of any provision of this Village Code.
B. The Village President shall conduct a hearing for the purpose of determining whether or not the license should be revoked in accordance with the following subsections:
1. Notice of the hearing for revocation of a license or permit shall be given in writing setting forth specifically the grounds of the complaint and the time and place of the hearing. Such notice may be hand-delivered or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the licensee to his last known address at least five (5) days prior to the date set for the hearing.
2. An attorney designated by the corporate authorities shall represent the Village at the hearing. The licensee shall be permitted counsel and have the right to submit evidence and cross-examine witnesses. The Village President shall serve as the hearing officer and shall render the decision.
C. Any person aggrieved by the decision of the Village President in connection with the revocation of a license as provided in subsection A of this Section, shall have the right to appeal to the Village Board of Trustees. Such appeal shall be taken by filing with the Board of Trustees, within ten (10) days after notice of a revocation, a written statement under oath setting forth specifically the grounds for appeal. The Board of Trustees shall thereupon set the time and place for a hearing on such appeal, and notice of such hearing shall be given to the applicant or licensee in the same manner as provided in this Section. The decision of a majority of the Board of Trustees present at the hearing of such appeal shall be required to reverse the decision of the Village President. (1990 Code)
