The tobacco dealer’s license shall be suspended by the City Clerk 30 days from the date of the tobacco dealer or employee of the tobacco dealer being placed on court supervision, conditional discharge, probation or conviction. If there is an appeal of the court’s order the suspension shall be stayed pending the outcome of the appeal. In computing the days, the date of the court action shall not be included. The City Clerk shall notify the licensee of the date or dates of suspension and such notice shall be personally served upon the licensee or shall be served by certified mail at least seven days prior to the effective date of the suspension. If the licensee cannot be located for personal service or notice attempted by certified mail is returned to the city, then notice may be served upon any business owner or any officer, associate, member, representative, agent or employee of such business owner found upon the premises for which the license was issued.
