(A) No license or permit shall be revoked, suspended, or nonrenewed except after a public hearing by the City Administrator with written notice sent to the licensee or permittee at least three days prior to the hearing affording the licensee or permittee an opportunity to appear and defend. However, if the City Administrator has reason to believe that any continued operation of a particular licensed premises will immediately threaten the welfare of the community, he or she may, upon the issuance of a written order stating the reason for the conclusion, and without notice or hearing, order the licensed or permitted premises closed for not more than seven days, giving the licensee an opportunity to be heard during that period.
(B) The notice provided hereunder shall include the time, date and place of hearing and a general description of the alleged cause for the possible revocation or suspension or the reason for the nonrenewal. At any hearing hereunder, the licensee shall be entitled to all the protections and rights allowed by law.
(C) The City Administrator shall, within ten days after the hearing, if he or she determines after the hearing that the license should be revoked, suspended or nonrenewed, state the reason or reasons for that determination in a written order of revocation suspension, or nonrenewal, and shall serve a copy of the order within ten days upon the licensee.
