(A) The local business tax receipt issued to any person for the privilege of operating a business in the city may be revoked by the City Manager at any time upon prior written notice to said person for violation of any ordinance of the city or law of the state pertaining to, regulating or taxing such business, or for any action taken by said person which endangers or threatens the health or safety of the public; however, any such revocation of a local business tax receipt by the City Manager may be appealed by the person whose local business tax receipt was revoked to the City Commission who, at a public hearing, after hearing the relevant facts, shall decide whether to uphold or reverse such local business tax receipt revocation. Any such appeal must be made in writing and addressed to the City Manager within 30 days of the date upon which said local business tax receipt was revoked.
(B) When any person shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or when any such person shall be adjudicated a voluntary or an involuntary bankruptcy or declared insolvent, any local business tax receipt theretofore issued authorizing such person to do business in the city shall immediately be terminated and shall, upon such assignment for the benefit of creditors, or upon such adjudication of bankruptcy, immediately become null and void.
