(a) Hearing. Before a permit issued pursuant to this chapter may be revoked, a hearing shall be held before the Police Chief. Notice setting forth the time, place, and nature of the hearing shall be sent by mail or delivered to the permittee at the address shown on the permit application not less than seven days prior to the hearing.
(b) Grounds for revocation. The Police Chief may revoke a permit on the following grounds:
(1) The application for a permit contains a false statement of a material fact;
(2) A licensee has repeatedly failed to comply with the provisions of this chapter; and
(3) An alarm system repeatedly actuates false alarms.
(c) Appeals. Any permittee may appeal the decision of the Police Chief by filing a written notice of appeal with the Police Chief within ten days after the decision. Such appeal shall be heard by the Village Board within 30 days after filing the appeal. The Village Board may affirm, amend, or reverse the decision or take other action deemed appropriate. An appeal timely taken suspends the revocation until the Village Board gives its decision. The Police Chief shall give written notice of the time and place of the hearing to the appellant by certified mail or personal delivery not less than seven days before the hearing. In conducting the hearing, the Village Board shall not be limited by the technical rules of evidence.
