(A) The Town Clerk shall immediately suspend the license and give the licensee notice by registered mail of the suspension and of a hearing to be held within ten days to determine whether or not the permit should be revoked, whenever the Town Clerk has reason to believe that any licensee is guilty of any of the following acts:
(1) Fraud, misrepresentation or false statement contained in the application for license;
(2) Fraud, misrepresentation or false statement made in the course of carrying on his or her business;
(3) Violation of any of the provisions of this chapter;
(4) Conviction of any crime or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude;
(5) Conducting business in an unlawful manner or in such a manner as to constitute a breach of the peace or to constitute a menace to the health, safety or general welfare of the public; and
(6) Failure to file an additional surety bond as required by § 111.06, within ten days after the liability of the surety on the previous bond has been exhausted.
(B) The notice shall contain a statement of the purported reason for the suspension. At the hearing, the licensee shall have the right to be represented by counsel, to introduce witnesses on his or her behalf and at his or her own expense, and to have the testimony given at the hearing transcribed. Within the next three days after the hearing, if the Town Clerk determines that there is a good and sufficient reason for revocation of the licensee’s license, the Town Clerk shall enter an order revoking the license effective immediately and notify the licensee by registered mail.
(C) Within five days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, an applicant for a license or a licensee may appeal to the Council, from either the refusal of the Town Clerk to issue a license under this chapter or from the revocation of any license granted in accordance with this chapter.
