(A) Mandatory revocation by Parade Administrator. The Parade Administrator shall revoke a permit authorizing an event if the Parade Administrator determines that there were grounds for denying the permit, as set out in this chapter, which were first disclosed or otherwise made known to the Parade Administrator after issuance of the permit and such facts were not discoverable by the exercise of due diligence by the Parade Administrator prior to the issuance of the permit.
(B) Discretionary revocation by Parade Administrator. The Parade Administrator may revoke a permit authorizing an event if the Parade Administrator determines that the event is being conducted in violation of the terms and conditions of the permit or that event participants have violated any applicable law or regulations; provided, however, that this division shall not authorize the revocation of a permit because of the need to protect participants from the conduct of others unless there are insufficient resources available to provide necessary police protection. The Parade Administrator shall not revoke a permit in the manner provided by this division unless and until the Parade Administrator advises the permittee or responsible event participants of the violation and provides a reasonable opportunity to correct the violation.
(C) Notice of intent to revoke. When the Parade Administrator intends to consider revocation of a permit prior to the date of event, the Parade Administrator shall immediately cause a written notice of such action to be served on the permittee in person or by fax and shall provide copies of the notice to the county’s Administrative Officer and County Counsel. However, where the Parade Administrator decides to consider revocation of a permit on the day of the event and has learned of the facts justifying revocation within 24 hours of the event, the Parade Administrator shall announce the action to the event participants, to those county officers and employees monitoring or controlling traffic during the event, and to the person in charge of the event, if the person can be located at the site of the event. Thereafter, the Parade Administrator shall cause a written notice of the action to be delivered to the permittee and posted at the site of the event. The Parade Administrator shall also provide copies of the notice to the county’s Administrative Officer and the County Counsel.
(D) Hearing of revocation. In all cases, except where the Parade Administrator gives a notice of intent to revoke the permit within 24 hours of the event, the applicant shall have a right to a hearing before the county’s Administrative Officer or his or her designee within 24 hours of the revocation; provided that the event is scheduled at least 48 hours after the request for hearing is made. The hearing shall be at the county’s Administrative Officer’s office not later than 4:00 p.m. on the day after the hearing is requested, unless otherwise agreed upon. The county’s Administrative Officer shall issue a decision orally at the conclusion of the hearing and shall also notify the applicant, the Parade Administrator and the County Counsel, in writing, of the county’s Administrative Officer’s decision.
(E) Content of notices of revocation. Any notification of action by the Parade Administrator or county’s Administrative Officer taken pursuant to this section, whether oral or written, shall describe with particularity the facts and the reasons for the decision. Any such written notice may be by facsimile, or by any written document signed or sent by the Parade Administrator or the county’s Administrative Officer, as the case may be.
