(A) Any license issued under this subchapter may be suspended and revoked for the violation of the laws of the state, any applicable provision of this code or any applicable ordinance of the city. Prior to any suspension or revocation, a hearing shall be held by the City Manager. A hearing notice shall be mailed to the licensee, by regular mail, addressed to the licensee at the address shown on the license, and said notice shall specify the violation or violations with which the licensee is charged and the date or dates of said violations. The notice shall state the date and place of the hearing before the City Manager, and said notice shall be mailed not less than six days before the date of the hearing. At such hearing, the licensee and his attorney may be present and may submit evidence in his defense. If the Manager determines from the evidence that the licensee is guilty of the violation or violations charged, he may revoke the license to operate immediately.
(B) The licensee may request an appeal hearing before the City Council at their next regular meeting, provided said regular Council meeting is not less than six days from the date the appeal request is made, and in the event it is less than six days, the appeal shall be heard by the City Council at the following regular meeting of the Council. The license shall remain suspended during the appeal period. At the appeal hearing, the licensee and his attorney may be present and may submit evidence in his defense. If the City Council determines from the evidence that the licensee is guilty of the violation or violations charged, they may sustain the decision of the City Manager to revoke the license or they may overrule the decision of the City Manager and reinstate the license.
