(B) The Zoning Administrator, before suspending any license, shall give the licensee at least 10 days' written notice of the charges against him or her, and shall cause written notice to be delivered pursuant to § 152.336 informing the person of the right to appeal the suspension upon request. Suspension shall take effect 10 days from date of notice, unless within that time, an appeal is filed with the Village Council. When a suspension is appealed to the Village Council, the suspension will become effective, if and when the Village Council decides that the suspension is proper.
