(A) Whenever it shall be shown or whenever the City Manager has reason to believe that any person to whom a permit has been issued under this subchapter has violated any of the provisions of this subchapter, or that any promoter, agent or solicitor of a permit holder has misrepresented the purpose of the solicitation, the City Manager shall immediately suspend the permit and give the permit holder written notice in person or by registered or certified mail of the suspension and of a hearing to be held within two days of the suspension to determine whether or not the permit should be revoked. This notice must contain a statement of the facts upon which the City Manager has acted in suspending the permit. At the hearing, the permit holder, and any other interested person, shall have the right to present evidence as to the facts upon which the City Manager based the suspension of the permit, and any other facts which may aid the City Manager in determining whether this subchapter has been violated and whether the purpose of the solicitation has been misrepresented. If, after the hearing, the City Manager finds that the subchapter has been violated, or the purpose of the solicitation has been misrepresented, the City Manager shall, within two days after the hearing file in the official’s office for public inspection and send to the permit holder by registered or certified mail, or serve upon the person in any manner provided by general law for the service of notices, a written statement of the facts upon which the City Manager bases such a finding and shall immediately revoke the permit. If, after the hearing, the City Manager finds that this subchapter has not been violated and the purpose of the solicitation has not been misrepresented, the City Manager shall, within two days after the hearing, give to the permit holder a written statement cancelling the suspension of the permit and stating that no violation or misrepresentation was found to have been committed.
(B) The Chief of Police shall be notified forthwith of the suspension or revocation of any permit issued under this subchapter.
