Whenever the city council receives evidence which it deems to be satisfactory that any permittee or his, their or its officers, employees, or members have caused, committed, or allowed any act provided by Section 5.28.060 to be grounds for the suspension or revocation of any permit issued under this chapter, the city council may, by written notice served upon the permittee, by serving the person designated in the application for permit for service of notices, temporarily suspend such permit, pending a hearing on the permanent suspension or revocation of such permit, which hearing is to be held not more than ten days after notice of such temporary suspension.
(Prior code § 5.20.090 (Ord. 368 § 6(b), 1953))
Notice of hearing on any suspension or revocation shall be given in writing, and served at least five days prior to the date of hearing thereon. Such service shall be upon the person designated in the application for permit for service of notices, and such notice shall state the grounds of complaint against the permittee, and the time when, and the place where such hearing will be had. Deposit of such notice in a United States mail box in a correctly addressed stamped envelope shall constitute service.
(Prior code § 5.20.100 (Ord. 368 § 6(c), 1953))
The hearing or investigation by the city council shall be informal, and the formal rules of evidence shall not apply. Nothing shall operate to prevent the city council from considering any evidence developed during the hearing or investigation touching or concerning the fitness of the permittee to retain the permit. If on such hearing or investigation the city council finds that sufficient cause exists for the suspension or revocation of the permit, the same may be suspended for any period the city council deems proper under the circumstances or it may be revoked. Such action shall be by majority vote of the city council on motion entered in its minutes. A copy of the determination of the city council shall be served upon the permittee by serving the person designated in the application for permit for service of notices in the same manner as that provided in Section 5.28.080 for service of notice of hearing.
(Prior code § 5.20.110 (Ord. 368 § 6(d), 1953))
No person whose permit has been revoked or suspended pursuant to this chapter shall engage in or carry on any business or do any act permitted to be done pursuant to such permit during the period of suspension, or after revocation thereof until a new permit has been granted.
(Prior code § 5.20.120 (Ord. 368 § 6(e), 1953))
Whenever a permit shall have been revoked under the terms of this chapter, no other application for a permit to maintain, operate, or conduct a social club in the city by such permittee shall be considered for a period of one year from the date of such revocation.
(Prior code § 5.20.130 (Ord. 368 § 6(f), 1953))
