A. Any activity by a licensee or his agents or employees or a person previously found suitable, which is inimical to the public health, safety, morals, good order, or general welfare of the inhabitants of the county which would reflect or tend to reflect discredit upon the county or any violation of any ordinance, law or statute, is grounds for disciplinary action in accordance with chapter 10 of this title. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all licensees are subject to disciplinary action for any of the following violations done either personally or through an agent or employee:
1. Any violation of this chapter;
2. The sale, purchase or lease of a liquor license or a portion or percentage thereof without the prior approval of the board;
3. Knowing failure to report or intentional concealment from the board the names of all persons having an interest in the ownership of or having an equitable or beneficial right to the profits under a license;
4. Knowing failure to report or intentional concealment from proper authorities any information which it is his duty to supply under any statute or ordinance;
5. Knowingly allowing the licensed premises to be frequented by or to become the meeting place, hangout, or rendezvous for prostitutes, known hoodlums, persons described as undesirables in liquor operations or those who are known to engage in the use or distribution of illegal narcotics or in any other illegal occupation or business. Any licensee knowingly permitting such conditions on the licensed premises may be subject to all forms of disciplinary action, including, but not limited to, suspension of the liquor license pending elimination of the indicated violation. Disciplinary action for permitting any such violation may be initiated against the licensee for failure to eliminate the same by affirmative corrective action for a period of ten (10) days from the date of written notice of the existence of any such condition or violation;
6. Knowingly misrepresenting a material fact in his application to obtain a license; or
7. The revocation for cause of any liquor license in any place in the state.
B. "Disciplinary action" is defined as the procedure which may be taken by the board to conduct hearings regarding a liquor licensee in violation of applicable law, and the action which may be taken by the board pursuant to the hearings, which may consist of suspending, limiting, conditioning, or revoking the license.
C. Disciplinary action for all liquor licensees shall be conducted pursuant to the regulations codified in chapter 10 of this title, which is hereby adopted as regulating all disciplinary action of a liquor licensee. (Ord. 2008-04, 12-15-2008, eff. 7-1-2009)
