Such permit shall remain in full force and effect, unexpired and not revoked. The holder of the permit shall operate in conformity with the range rules adopted by Council which are attached to original Ordinance 80-6, and made a part hereof by reference. If such holder of a permit shall consistently, willfully and wantonly omit, fail or refuse to operate in conformity with the rules his permit may be revoked and cancelled by Council. No permit may be revoked or cancelled until the holder of the permit has been notified in writing by the City Clerk at the direction of Council of the specific rules alleged to have been violated, the dates of the alleged violations and the time, place and date when Council will conduct a hearing to consider revoking or cancelling the permit. At such time the holder of the permit and his legal counsel, if he desires, shall be given an opportunity to present such evidence as the holder of the permit may desire in support of his being allowed to retain his permit and to examine under oath those persons who would offer evidence as to the alleged violations. No permit shall be so revoked or cancelled unless it is shown that the violations of the rules have been substantial and that continued operation of the firing range would constitute a danger to life and property. After a hearing, a permit may be revoked or cancelled by a simple majority of Council and the Mayor may vote in the event of a tie vote. Any person, firm or corporation whose permit has been so revoked or cancelled by the Council may appeal the revocation or cancellation to the Circuit Court of the County.
