(2) Interference with the Health Officer or his or her authorized representative in the performance of his or her duties; provided, however, that, upon written application from the permittee served upon the Health Officer within 15 days after such suspension, the Health Officer shall conduct a hearing upon the matter after giving at least five days’ written notice of the time, place and purpose thereof to the suspended permittee; provided further that, any such suspension order shall be issued by the Health Officer in writing and served upon the permittee by leaving a copy at his or her usual place of business or by delivery of registered or certified mail to such address.
