A. The right shall be and at all times remain vested in the city council to revoke or suspend the license of any person licensed under this chapter for any violation of this chapter, and upon verified complaint filed with the city council, the city council shall cause such alleged offender to appear before the city council, and be heard upon said complaint; a copy of said complaint shall be served with said notice, and the day and hour of the hearing, which shall be at least five (5) days thence, shall be specified in such notice, and if at said hearing upon the taking of evidence on behalf of the city and such offender it appears to the city council that cause exists for the suspension or revocation of such license, the same may be suspended or revoked without further process of law, and upon such suspension or revocation, no refund of any unexpired portion of the license fee shall be made to the licensee.
B. The revocation or suspension of the license for the sale of beer or wine shall automatically result in the revocation or suspension of any license for the sale of liquor held by the same licensee and issued for the same premises or location. Such additional revocation or suspension shall be equal in length to and run concurrently with the period of the original revocation or suspension.
C. When a proceeding to revoke or suspend a license has been or is about to be instituted, during the time a renewal application of such license is pending before the city, the city shall renew the license notwithstanding the pending proceedings, but such renewal license may be revoked or suspended without hearing if and when the previous license is, for any reason, revoked or suspended.
D. In the event of a conviction for a violation of Idaho Code title 18, chapter 41, relating to obscenity by any licensee, or agent or licensee, or employer or licensee, if such licensee knew or should have known, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, that said agent or employee was violating the provisions of Idaho Code title 18, chapter 41, and if the violation committed by any of the above occurred on, or in connection with, premises licensed under this act by such licensee, the city shall suspend the license of such licensee for a period of six (6) months. If such licensee, or his agent or employee, has previously been convicted of violation of Idaho Code title 18, chapter 41, relating to obscenity, which violation occurred on, or in connection with, the premises licensed under this chapter by such licensee, the city shall revoke the license of such licensee. (Ord. 747 § 11, 2000; Ord. 211 § 14, 1947)
