Every license granted under this Chapter or any Section thereof is granted and accepted by all parties receiving such license with the express understanding that the Board of Supervisors may revoke the same or the order for the issuance thereof, at any time when it appears to the Board of Supervisors that any state of facts exists upon which it would be authorized to deny an application for such license, or that the person to whom such license was issued or any of its agents, servants or employees, or any other person in charge of or employed about the business, exhibition or occupation for which such license was issued, has violated any of the conditions of the license or terms of this Chapter or of any other ordinance or of any law of the State, now or hereafter in force, regulating the exhibition, occupation or business for which such license is issued, or that the license was obtained by fraudulent representations, or that the holder of the license is an unfit person to be trusted with the privileges granted by said license, or has conducted its business in an immoral or disorderly manner, or has conducted such business, exhibition or occupation in such a manner as to be detrimental to public peace, public safety or public welfare; provided however, that no license shall be revoked without giving the holder thereof an opportunity to appear before the Board of Supervisors in his or her own behalf. If the Board of Supervisors is of the opinion that a hearing should be had to determine whether or not the license should be revoked, it shall cause a notice of such hearing to be given to the holder of such license at a time not less than five days before the hearing. At the time set for the hearing or at the date to which said hearing may be continued by the Board of Supervisors, the Board of Supervisors shall hear the holder of the license, who may present any facts to show why such license shall not be revoked, and shall hear statements from other persons who may attend the hearing and present reasons why the license should or should not be revoked, and may, if it so desires, place under oath and question any person before it; provided, that the Board of Supervisors may close the hearing when it is convinced that no public good will result from its continuance. At the close of the hearing, or at any time within 30 days thereafter, the Board of Supervisors shall determine from the facts produced at the hearing, and from any other facts in its possession, whether or not the license should be revoked, and shall make its order accordingly and may make such order conditional upon the doing or not doing of any act by the holder of the license or his or her agents or servants, which the Board of Supervisors deems for the public good. On the revocation of the license no part of the money in the hands of the Tax Collector shall be returned, but such license fee shall be forfeited to the County. Notice of such revocation shall be given to the Tax Collector by the Clerk of the Board.
