The fee for the examination shall be $5 and shall be paid to the City Clerk. The fee shall be retained by the city whether or not the applicant passes the examination. If the applicant is rejected, the applicant shall not be eligible for re-examination for a period of six months. The Electrical Inspector shall have the power to suspend for a definite period of time, or cancel or revoke a license, if the person is found guilty of violating the terms and conditions of this article. Any person who has had a license suspended or revoked may have ten days in which to appeal to the Mayor and Council after having been given notice of the cancellation or revocation.
