(A) A person whose license or permit has been revoked or suspended by the County Manager following a hearing shall have a right of appeal to the County Commissioners. Notice of appeal must be given to the County Manager within seven days from the date of service of the decision. The appellant shall be given written notice of the date, time, and place that the County Commissioners will hear the appeal at least seven days before the appeal is to be heard. The license or permit shall remain valid until the County Commissioners decide the appeal, but such stay of the revocation or suspension shall stay or prevent the county from instituting criminal proceedings or any other action against the person for any violation of this chapter or other law, regardless whether such criminal or other action is based on the same or similar grounds as those upon which the revocation or suspension proceeding is based.
(B) The County Commissioners shall hear any appeal taken from the County Manager as soon as practicable. The person whose license or permit has been revoked or suspended shall have the right to appear before the County Commissioners in person or through counsel and present evidence concerning the revocation or suspension. The County Commissioners may reverse or affirm, wholly or in part, or may reduce the length of suspension or reduce a revocation to a suspension not to exceed 90 days if, in the judgment of the County Commis- sioners, there is good cause for such action based upon reasonable grounds and the evidence presented at the hearing. Written notice of the decision of the County Commissioners shall be served upon the appellant within three days following such decision.
