The Village President shall have the power to suspend or revoke a tobacco products license, to impose a fine on the licensee, or any combination thereof. The fine imposed shall not be less than $50 nor more than $750 for each violation. Each day on which a violation continues shall constitute a separate offense. No such discipline shall be imposed, however, unless, after a hearing conducted by the Village President, with at least seven days prior notice, the Village President shall determine that a provision of this code or of the state statutes has been violated. The hearing shall be administrative in nature and not subject to the strict rules of evidence. Thereport of any sworn law enforcement officer reporting a violation of any ordinance, regulation or statute, shall constitute admissible prima facie evidence of a violation. The advance notice provision shall begin following delivery by certified mail or by personal service. The Village President shall, within seven days after the hearing, if he or she determines that the license should be suspended or revoked and/or the licensee should be fined, state the reason for such determination in a written order and shall serve a copy of such order upon the licensee within seven days after the order has been entered.
