In case any applicant has been denied a license, or if his or her license has been revoked or suspended, the applicant or licensee, as the case may be, shall, within three business days, have the right to appeal to the City Council from such denial, revocation or suspension. Notice of appeal shall be filed, in writing, with the City Treasurer who shall fix the time and place for hearing, the same to be not later than one week thereafter. The City Treasurer shall notify the City Manager and all members of City Council of the time and place of such hearing not less than 12 hours in advance thereof. Three members of City 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 City 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.
