Any charitable solicitation permit may be revoked or suspended by the finance director, pending a hearing, when there is probable cause to believe that any fraud or criminal act has been or is being committed by the permittee or agents thereof in connection with any permitted solicitation. In all other cases, where any permittee is found to have included any material misstatement or misrepresentation in the application, the permit may be revoked or suspended after a hearing on the matter.
When a hearing is to be conducted as provided herein, the finance director shall schedule such hearing to occur between seven and twenty-one calendar days, and shall provide notice by first class mail of such hearing to the permittee at the address set forth in the application on file. Said hearing shall be held before the city manager who shall bear the burden of proof and his or her decision shall be based upon written findings and shall be final.
