Any permit issued under the provisions of this chapter may be suspended or revoked by the city as follows:
(A) Grounds. The City Administrator, or the city’s designee, may suspend or revoke any permit issued under this chapter for any of, but not limited to, the following reasons.
(1) The vendor has made fraudulent statements in his/her application for the permit, or in the conduct of his or her business.
(2) The vendor has violated this chapter or any other chapter of this code, or has otherwise conducted his or her business in an unlawful manner.
(3) The vendor has conducted his or her business in such manner as to endanger the public welfare, safety, order, or morals.
(4) The City Administrator, or the city’s designee, has received and investigated three or more found complaints during the vendor period related to the manner in which the vendor is conducting business.
(B) Notice of suspension or revocation; right to appeal. The city shall cause notice of the permit revocation to be served in person by a city official or by mail to the vendor’s local address, which notice shall specify the reason(s) for such action, at which time operations of the vendor must cease within the corporate limits of the city. The vendor may appeal the revocation of the permit to the City Council at its next regularly scheduled meeting by filing with the City Clerk, or the City Clerk’s designee, a written request for an appeal to the City Council at least seven days prior to the meeting. The City Council may affirm, modify, or reverse the decision of the City Administrator, or the city’s designee, to revoke such permit. If a permit is revoked, no refund of any permit fee paid shall be made. Upon the revocation of a permit, the vendor is not eligible for the issuance of a new permit under this chapter for a period of one year from the date of the permit revocation.
