Any Mobile Food Vendor who commits a second violation of any provision of this Section, which may or may not be related to any other prior violation by the Mobile Food Vendor, shall be issued a fine in the amount of five hundred dollars ($500.00), which shall be paid within ten business days; if said $500.00 fine is not paid within 10 days the mobile food vendor shall be required to cease operation and the operator's mobile food vendor license shall be suspended until such time as the fine has been paid in full. A third violation of any provision of this Section by the Mobile Food Vendor, which may or may not be related to any other prior violation by the Mobile Food Vendor, will result in immediate revocation of the Mobile Food Vendor License and loss of eligibility for future Mobile Food Vendor Licenses.

(c) When good cause has been demonstrated to deny, revoke, suspend, or not renew a Mobile Food Vendor license, the Municipality shall issue an order which shall become effective immediately upon service of a written notice to the licensee. Such notice shall specify the reason for denial, revocation, suspension, or non-renewal and may provide for conditions upon which the license may be approved or reinstated, upon compliance with said conditions. Should no conditions be given for the possible approval or reinstatement of the license, the order shall constitute a denial or revocation of the license.
