A. If, after the permittee has had an opportunity to be heard, the director decides to suspend or revoke a permit issued pursuant to this chapter, the director shall cause written notice of the decision to be personally delivered or sent by certified mail to the permittee, and the related taxicab fleet association, if different. The notice shall be in writing and contain:
1. The specific grounds for the decision;
2. A statement that the permittee may appeal the decision by submitting an appeal, in writing to the director, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of service of the notice; and
3. A statement advising that the failure to appeal the decision will constitute a waiver of all rights to an appeal hearing, and the decision will be final. Failure to properly and timely appeal the decision shall also constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies and a bar to any judicial action pertaining to the director's decision.
B. The notice of decision shall be personally served or sent by certified mail to the permittee at the address submitted in the permit application. Service by certified mail is complete at the time the notice is deposited in the mail. (Ord. 2010-028 § 2)
