(C) In addition to any other penalty which may be provided, the Mayor may revoke the license of any licensed proprietor of any licensed business in the city who refuses to permit any officer or employee who is authorized to make the inspection or take an adequate sample of the commodity, or who interferes with any officer or employee while in the performance of his or her duty in making the inspection.
