(A) Whenever it shall be shown that any person to whom a permit has been issued has violated any of the provisions of this chapter, the License Collector shall suspend the permit, after giving written notice to the permit holder of not less than two business days, in person or by registered special delivery, postage prepaid, and addressed to the permit holder at the address specified in the permit application or any amendment thereto, of the suspension and proposed revocation, stating with specificity the reason therefor. However, the two-day notice shall not be required if the License Collector determines there is a need to protect the public safety, in which case the permit shall be suspended immediately.
(B) The permit holder may file with the City Manager, within 10 days of the date of the notice of suspension and proposed revocation, a written request for a hearing, which request shall have the effect of staying the suspension until the City Manager has rendered his decision, except in instances where the suspension is necessary to protect the public safety. The City Manager shall hold a hearing within 10 days after the filing of such request.
(C) At the hearing, the City Manager shall hear all relevant evidence, shall consider the merits of the proposed revocation, including any actions which have been taken to cure the alleged violation, and shall render a decision thereon within one business day after the hearing. The decision shall be communicated in writing to the permit holder within one day thereafter, and shall state with specificity the reasons therefor.
(D) In the event that the permit holder does not request a hearing within 10 days after the date of the notice of suspension and proposed revocation, the permit shall be revoked, and the revocation shall not be appealable.
