(A) All licenses granted under the provisions of this chapter are subject to revocation by the City Council at any time for any of the following reasons:
(1) If the conditions of the license or any of the terms of this chapter have been violated;
(2) If the license was obtained by misrepresentation;
(3) If the business for which the license was granted is conducted in such a manner as to be a menace to the safety of the community.
(B) Before revoking any license, the Council may suspend the same, and the privileges granted therein, for one week, or until the next regular meeting of the Council, and notice of a hearing upon such revocation shall be given to the licensee by the License Tax Collector. At the time specified in the notice, the holder of the suspended license may appear before the Council and show cause, if any, why the license should not be revoked. Upon his or her failure to appear, or if after such hearing the Council funds there is good and sufficient cause for revoking the license, the license shall be revoked, and the finding of the Council thereon shall be conclusive. It shall be unlawful for any person to continue in any business for which the license has been issued during such time that the license is suspended or after it has been revoked. On revocation of any license, no part of the license tax shall be returned but shall be forfeited to the city. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to authorize the continuation of any business for which a license tax has not been paid, the terms and provisions of this section relating only to revocation of licenses for cause other than nonpayment of required fees.
