A. The right shall be and at all times remains vested in the city council to revoke or suspend the beverage catering permit of any organizations, groups, or persons under this chapter for any violation of this chapter.
B. Upon a showing of sufficient cause to believe that the holder of a beverage catering permit has in any way violated this chapter, the city may revoke or suspend said permit by:
1. Notifying the permittee by certified mail, personal service or substitute service of the grounds for said suspension and of the permittee's opportunity to appeal said denial to the city council. The notification shall be sent to the permittee's last known address of record;
2. The suspension notice should include explicit grounds for the suspension and any documents used to support and justify the suspension. The notice should also include a statement that informs the permittee of his or her rights to a hearing before the city council to appeal the suspension;
3. The permittee, upon receiving notice of the suspension, may appeal said suspension by making application to the city clerk for a hearing before the city council within ten (10) working days of receipt of the above stated notice.
C. Failure of a person to actually receive a notice sent or served shall not invalidate said suspension or revocation. In such a case, the permittee shall have fifteen (15) days from the date the notice was mailed to file an appeal with the city clerk.
D. Where there exists a clear endangerment to the health, safety and welfare of the public resulting from the use of the permit, in addition to the applicant or his/her agents failure to perform in conformance with the conditions and terms set forth on the permit and pursuant to this chapter, the city council or the police chief may revoke the catering permit issued under the provisions of this section by immediately demanding and seizing the permit from the applicant or the applicant's designee. Upon receipt of the revoked permit, or where the permit cannot be seized due to unavailability of the applicant, or where the applicant or coapplicant refuses to surrender said permit, the chief of police may direct the seizure of all alcoholic beverages and remove the same and keep the same as evidence and, upon conviction of the person for violation of the provisions hereof, the said liquor and all packages, or receptacles containing the same, shall be forfeited to the state of Idaho.
