(A) The Director may revoke a permit upon learning or discovering facts requiring permit denial not previously disclosed or reasonably discoverable.
(B) The Director may revoke an event permit when the permittee and/or event violates the permit's terms and conditions, or when event participants violate applicable laws or regulations; provided, however, that this subsection will not authorize revoking a permit because of the need to protect participants from the conduct of others; and, provided further, that the Director will not revoke a permit without warning the permittee and allowing him/her to correct the violation(s) within a reasonable time.
(C) If the Director revokes a permit before the date of the event, the Director must immediately serve written notice of revocation on the permittee and provide copies of the notice to all city personnel charged with carrying out any responsibility under this chapter. If the Director revokes a permit on the day of the event after learning of facts justifying revocation less than 24 hours before the event commences, the Director must announce such action to the event participants, to those city officers and employees monitoring or controlling traffic during the event, and to the person in charge of the event, if such person can be located at the site of the event. Written notice must be delivered after such action to the permittee and Director.
(D) An applicant is entitled to an appeals hearing before the City Manager provided:
(1) The applicant appeals the Director’s decision within 24 hours of receiving notice of such conditions; and
(2) The event is scheduled at least 48 hours after the hearing time.
(3) The hearing will be at the City Manager's office at 4:00 p.m. the day after the hearing is requested, unless otherwise agreed upon. The City Manager must issue a decision orally at the conclusion of the hearing and also notify the applicant and the Director in writing of the City Manager's decision.
(E) The City Manager's decision is a final determination. There is no right of City Council appeal.
(F) The Director or City Manager can only revoke a permit for a free speech event after consulting with the City Attorney.
