When a MFSE license is denied or revoked by the City Clerk, the vendor may appeal to and have a hearing before the City Manager within twenty days of the date notice of revocation or denial was mailed. The City Manager shall notify the aggrieved party of the date and time that a hearing will be held on the appeal, and shall make a written determination within twenty days of the date of the hearing, after presentation by the aggrieved party and investigation by City staff, as to whether or not the grounds for denial or revocation are true. If the City Manager determines that such grounds are supported by a preponderance of the evidence, the action of the City Clerk shall be sustained, and the applicant may appeal the City Manager’s determination to a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to Chapter 7 of the Michigan Court Rules.
