A. Violations: The village manager or his/her designee, upon delivery of written notice or verbal notice, may suspend or revoke any license issued under the provisions of this chapter, if he determines that suspension or revocation is needed to protect the public safety or that the licensee has violated any of the provisions of this chapter or this code or the regulations contained in the "Administrative Procedures For Commercial Filming, Photography And Taping", as amended, or any other applicable state, county and federal laws and regulations. In lieu of suspension or revocation of a license or in addition to such penalties, the village manager, in his/her sole discretion, may levy a fine on the licensee.

The village's notice shall advise the licensee of his or her opportunity to appear and defend against the charges contained in such notice. All notices shall be served via delivery by e-mail, certified mail or by personal service. Within forty eight (48) hours of conclusion of the hearing, the village manager shall issue a written decision relative to the revocation, suspension and/or fine that states the reasons for such determination and further states the amount of the fine, the period of suspension (if any) or that the license has been revoked or reinstated. A copy of the decision shall be promptly served upon the licensee.
