(A) Any license issued for an adult business may be revoked or suspended by the President of the village only if the President shall find:
(1) That the licensee has violated any of the provisions of this chapter regulating adult uses; or
(2) That the licensee has knowingly furnished false or misleading information or withheld relevant information on any application for any license or permit required by this chapter or knowingly caused or suffered another to furnish or withhold such information on his or her behalf.
(B) The licensee shall be responsible for the acts of his or her agents, servants and employees; provided, however, that in the case of a first offense by a licensee where the conduct was solely that of an employee, the penalty shall not exceed a suspension of 30 days if the President shall find that the licensee had no actual or constructive knowledge of such violation and could not by the exercise of due diligence have had such actual constructive knowledge.
(C) The President before revoking or suspending any license shall give the licensee at least ten days’ written notice of the charges against him or her. The licensee may within five days of receipt of said notice request a public hearing before the President at which time the licensee may present evidence bearing upon the question. Any notice by the President may be delivered personally to the licensee or be posted on the premises of the establishment being used as an adult use.
