A. Infraction: Unless otherwise provided, any person who shall commence or continue to carry on or transact any business or calling for which license is required by any provision of this title without first procuring the same or, once procured, fails to maintain the standards required to retain the permit or license shall be deemed guilty of an infraction and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined one hundred dollars ($100.00). An infraction is a civil public offense, not constituting a crime, for which no period of incarceration is imposed. A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
B. Violation: The operating or conducting of any business or occupation for which a license is required by this chapter without having a valid license as provided herein is hereby declared to be a public nuisance. In addition to any penalty provided by this chapter, the city may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain an order enjoining any person from operating or conducting any business or occupation in violation of this chapter.
C. Revocation Or Suspension: Any license issued pursuant to this chapter may be revoked or suspended by the city council for violation of any law of the city, the state of Idaho, or of the United States Of America applicable to the business for which the license was issued. Such revocation must be preceded by notice in writing to the licensee from the city clerk, informing the licensee that the council has ordered the holding of a hearing at a date and time certain, not less than forty five (45) days from the date of such notice, at which hearing the licensee will be required to appear personally and show cause why the license should not be revoked. At such hearing the licensee may be represented by counsel, may testify personally, may call witnesses, and may cross examine any witnesses called by the city. Should the council determine that such license should be revoked or suspended, it shall pass a motion to that effect, and such license shall thereupon be revoked, provided however, that no such motion shall be deemed passed without the affirmative vote of one-half (1/2) plus one of the members of the full council.
