Whenever it shall be shown, or whenever the City Clerk has knowledge, that any person to whom a permit has been issued under this article has violated any of the provisions of this article, or that any promoter, agent or solicitor of a permit holder has misrepresented the purpose of the solicitation, the City Clerk shall immediately suspend the permit and give the permit holder written notice by certified mail of a hearing to be held within two days of such suspension to determine whether or not the permit should be revoked. This notice shall contain a statement of the facts upon which the City Clerk has acted in suspending the permit. At the hearing, the permit holder, and any other interested person, shall have the right to present evidence as to the facts upon which the City Clerk based the suspension of the permit, and any other facts which may aid the City Clerk in determining whether the provisions of this article have been violated and whether the purpose of the solicitation has been misrepresented. If after such hearing, the City Clerk finds that such provisions have been violated or the purpose of the solicitation has been misrepresented, the City Clerk shall within two days after the hearing file in the City Clerk’s office for public inspection and serve upon the permit holder, and all interested persons participating in the hearing, a written statement of the facts upon which he/she bases such finding and shall immediately revoke the permit. If, after such hearing the City Clerk finds that the provisions of this article have not been violated and the purpose of the solicitation has not been misrepresented, the City Clerk shall within two days after the hearing give the permit holder a written statement canceling the suspension of the permit and stating that no violation or misrepresentation was found to have been committed.
