The Village Manager shall be charged with the administration of this Chapter. The Village Manager may suspend or revoke any license issued under the provisions of this Chapter, if he or she determines that the licensee has violated any of the provisions of this Chapter. In lieu of suspension or revocation of a license, the Village Manager may instead levy a fine upon the licensee in accordance with the fine schedule located in Appendix B for each offense of which such licensee shall be convicted. Each day on which a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation.
However, no such license shall be suspended or revoked and no licensee shall be fined except after a hearing by the Village Manager with a seven (7) day written notice to the licensee affording the licensee an opportunity to appear and defend against alleged violation specified in such notice. The seven (7) day notice provisions shall begin the day following delivery by certified mail or by personal service.
The Village Manager shall within seven (7) days after such hearing, if he or she determines after such hearing that a violation has occurred and that the license should be revoked or suspended, or that the licensee should be fined, state the reason for such determination in a written order and either the amount of the fine, the period of suspension or that the license has been revoked, and serve a copy of such order within the said seven (7) days upon the licensee.
Any licensee determined by the Village Manager to have violated any of the provisions of this Chapter shall pay to the Village the costs of the hearing before the Village Manager as to such violation. The Village Manager shall determine the costs incurred by the Village for said hearing, including, but not limited to: court reporters' fees, the costs of transcripts or records, attorneys' fees, the cost of preparing and mailing notices and orders and all other miscellaneous expenses incurred by the Village, or such lesser sum as the Village Manager may determine.
The licensee shall pay said costs to the Village within thirty (30) days of notification of the costs by the Village Manager. Failure to pay said costs within thirty (30) days of notification is a violation of this Chapter and may be cause for license suspension or revocation, or the levy of a fine, without the necessity of a further hearing.
