If the assessor-collector shall find that any licensee has violated any provision of this title or any other city ordinance, or any state law, he or she shall make a written record of such findings, shall specify therein the particulars in which the ordinance has been violated and shall either revoke the license or suspend it for a period to be fixed by him or her, in which event, the license shall be surrendered to the assessor-collector and cancelled by him or her in case of revocation, or returned to the licensee on expiration of the period of suspension. Any licensee whose license is revoked or suspended shall have the right to appeal to the city council from such revocation or suspension by filing with the assessor-collector a written notice thereof within five days after the entry of the order of revocation or suspension. The notice of appeal shall specify an address at which the licensee may be given notice of hearing on the appeal. The city council shall hear the appeal. At the hearing, the licensee shall be entitled to appear in person and offer evidence pertinent to the revocation or suspension and the assessor-collector shall likewise be entitled to be heard at the hearing and offer evidence in support of his or her order of revocation or suspension. The city council shall determine by recommendation whether revocation or suspension shall be sustained and its action in that respect shall be final and conclusive. (Prior code § 5.06.026)
