§ 113.014 SUSPENSION AND REVOCATION.
   (A)   A license may be revoked or suspended for, among other reasons, the following:
      (1)   Violation of any provision of this chapter.
      (2)   The license has been deemed inactive.
      (3)   Nonpayment of any governmental obligation, including utilities.
      (4)   Failure to maintain proof of financial responsibility as required in § 113.011.
      (5)   Inadequate or faulty security measures or surveillance cameras.
      (6)   Significant public safety concerns that result in violation of local or state laws.
   (B)   Upon determination by the Mayor that grounds exist for the suspension or revocation of a license, a notice of suspension or revocation shall be physically delivered and posted at the licensed location. Such notice shall state the grounds for the suspension or revocation, the time and date of a hearing with the City Commission if the licensee wishes to contest the suspension or revocation, and whether or not the license is temporarily suspended pending the outcome of such hearing. Upon issuance of the notice, the Mayor shall direct that a hearing be scheduled for the next available City Commission meeting to consider the suspension or revocation of the license.
   (C)   In deciding whether a license will be suspended or revoked, the City Commission shall consider all facts and circumstances relating to the grounds alleged in the notice to warrant suspension or revocation of the license. At the close of the hearing, the City Commission may uphold the suspension or revocation or reverse the suspension or revocation. If the suspension or revocation is reversed, the City Commission may impose any additional conditions on the license which are reasonably calculated to ensure that the aggrieved conduct does not reoccur.
   (D)   In the event a licensee's state certification is suspended or revoked, the licensee's city license shall automatically be suspended until such time as the state certification returns to good standing. If such state certification status persists long enough for the city license to be deemed inactive, such inactivity may serve as independent grounds for revocation of the city license.
