Hearing on a denial of the issuance or transfer of a license under this chapter or on the suspension or revocation of a license under this chapter shall be before the Friedman Memorial Airport authority. At such hearing, the licensee may present evidence, call witnesses and be represented by counsel. The Friedman Memorial Airport authority may render its decision orally at the conclusion of the hearing, but shall provide the license applicant or licensee with written notice of its decision not later than five (5) business days after the date of the hearing.
A. On appeal of a denial of the issuance or transfer of a license, the Friedman Memorial Airport authority may affirm the denial or approve the issuance or transfer of a license, and may, upon approval thereof, impose such reasonable conditions related to the use of the license as are appropriate in the circumstances.
B. After hearing on the suspension or revocation of a license, the Friedman Memorial Airport authority may:
1. Revoke the license.
2. Suspend the license for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days. In its decision to suspend a license, the Friedman Memorial Airport authority may provide for the reinstatement of the license prior to the expiration of the suspension period upon the fulfillment of such reasonable conditions as the authority may impose, and may further provide that in the event such conditions have not been fulfilled upon the expiration of the suspension period, the period of suspension will be extended for a stated additional period. In the event of an extension, notice thereof and the reasons therefor shall be provided to the licensee, but further hearing shall not be required, unless requested in writing by the licensee. Provided, however, that no suspension shall be continued for a total period in excess of sixty (60) days without notice and hearing as provided in this chapter.
3. Issue a letter of warning notifying the licensee that any further violation may result in the suspension or revocation of the license.
4. Allow the use of the license to continue and impose such reasonable conditions related to the use of the license as appropriate under the circumstances. (Ord. 955 § 1, 2006)
