9.24.050   Revocation of business license.
   A.   Notwithstanding any provision contained in this code to the contrary, violation of the provisions of this chapter shall constitute grounds for revocation of any business license issued pursuant to the provisions of Title 5 of this code to a business or person who shall have committed said violation. Revocation proceedings shall be commenced upon the filing with the city clerk written application by the director of leisure services asserting that there are grounds for revocation of a business license as a result of a violation of the provisions of this chapter, and stating the circumstances of each violation which the director alleges has occurred. A copy of the application shall be mailed by the director to the holder of the business license not later than the date on which the application is filed with the city clerk. Within fifteen (15) calendar days following the date of mailing by the director, the holder of the business license must request, in writing, a hearing before the city council. Such written request for hearing shall be filed with the city clerk and a copy shall be mailed to the director of leisure services. The failure to file a written demand for a hearing within the time specified herein shall constitute a waiver of the licensee's right to such a hearing.
   B.   Should the licensee fail to file his written request for a hearing within the time limit specified, the city council shall place the matter on its agenda and the director shall present evidence to support his application for revocation. Based upon said evidence, the city council shall render a final decision regarding revocation of said business license.
   C.   Should the licensee file a timely request for a hearing, the city council shall thereupon fix a time and place for hearing the application to revoke the license. The clerk of the council shall give notice to the director of leisure services and to the licensee of the time and place of hearing by serving it personal- ly or by mailing it to the mailing address listed on the business license records of the city. At the time and place appointed, the director and the licensee shall present all relevant evidence to the council and the council shall thereupon render its decision in the matter.
   D.   The decision of the city council in any hearing concerning the revocation of a business license pursuant to this chapter shall be final and binding upon the parties and there shall be no provision for further administrative appeal or reconsideration by the council. (Prior code § 5282)
