Every licensee carrying on business at a fixed location shall keep posted in a prominent place upon the licensed premises, the license certificate. Other licensees shall carry their license certificates at all times and whenever requested by any officer or citizen, shall exhibit the same. (1975 Code Sec. 110.06)
Any license may be revoked by the Mayor or the Fiscal Officer at any time for conditions or considerations which, had they existed at the time of issuance, would have been valid grounds for its denial; for any misrepresentation of a material fact in the application discovered after issuance of the license; for violation of any provision of this chapter or other law or ordinance relating to the operation of the business or enterprise for which the license has been issued; or upon conviction of a licensee for any federal, state or municipal law or ordinance involving moral turpitude. Such revocation shall become effective upon notice served upon such licensee or posted upon the premises affected.
As a preliminary to revocation, the Mayor or the Fiscal Officer may issue an order suspending such license, which shall become effective immediately upon service of written notice to such licensee. Such notice shall specify the reason for suspension, and may provide conditions under which reinstatement of the license may be obtained. Upon compliance with such conditions within the time specified, such license may be restored.
(1975 Code Sec. 110.07)
In case any applicant has been denied a license, or if his license has been revoked or suspended, the applicant or licensee as the case may be, shall within three business days have the right to appeal to Council from such denial, revocation or suspension. Notice of appeal shall be filed in writing with the Fiscal Officer who shall fix the time and place for hearing, the same to be not later than one week thereafter. The Fiscal Officer shall notify the Mayor and all members of Council of the time and place of such hearing not less than twelve hours in advance thereof. Three members of Council shall constitute a quorum to hear such appeal. The appellant may appear and be heard in person or by counsel. If, after hearing, a majority of the members of Council present at such meeting declare in favor of the applicant, such license shall be forthwith issued or fully reinstated as the case may be; otherwise the order appealed from shall become final. (1975 Code Sec. 110.08)
