(a) Whenever it appears to the sheriff's department that the permittee is conducting a bingo game in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, the sheriff's department shall have the authority to summarily suspend the permit and order the permittee to immediately cease and desist any further operation of any bingo game.
(b) Any person who continues to conduct a bingo game after any summary suspension thereof under subsection (a) of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof, shall be punishable by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars or by imprisonment in the county jail for a period not exceeding six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
(c) The order issued under subsection (a) of this section shall also notify the permittee that it shall have five days from the date of such order to request a hearing before the city manager to determine whether such permit shall be revoked. Failure to request, in writing, such hearing before the city manager within said five-day period, shall result in a revocation of the permit.
(d) Upon such request by the permittee whose permit has been suspended under subsection (a) of this section, for a hearing to determine whether such permit shall be revoked, the city manager shall provide such hearing within ten days after receipt of such request at which hearing the suspended permittee may appear before the city manager for the purpose of presenting evidence why the permit should not be revoked. No permit shall be revoked under this section unless notice of the time and place of such hearing shall have first been given at least ten days before the hearing thereof by depositing in the United States mail a notice directed to such suspended permittee at the address given in the application. The notice shall set forth a summary of the ground advanced as the basis of the suspension and revocation.
(e) Any organization whose permit is revoked under this section shall not conduct any bingo game in the city until such time as the city council, on appeal, determines to overrule the decision of the city manager.
