A license issued pursuant to this section may be suspended by a city official if the licensee has violated this chapter or is otherwise conducting business in such a manner as to constitute a breach of peace, fraudulent conduct, or any other conduct that is prohibited by local, state or federal laws or regulations. Falsification of information required for a license is also grounds for denial, suspension or revocation of a license. The license shall be automatically revoked if the licensee does not file an appeal pursuant to this section. When taking action on any license issued under this chapter, the city official shall provide the licensee with verbal or written notice of the violation. The notice shall inform the licensee of its right to be heard before the City Council. The notice shall also inform the licensee that the license shall be automatically revoked if no appeal is filed within 21 days of the date of the notice by the city official. Verbal notice shall be confirmed within 5 days by a mailed written notice to the licensee. The City Council shall not conduct a hearing on a suspension or revocation unless a request is made by the licensee in writing. If a request for a hearing is made, the City Council shall conduct the hearing at the next available City Council meeting. No City Council resolution or other notice calling for a hearing shall be required.
