  § 4-20. Procedure for suspending or revoking permit.  

Latest version.

  • The procedure for the suspension or revocation of permits shall be substantially as follows:

    (a)

    The council shall have periodic examinations made of the business of all persons holding permits under this chapter. If a violation of any provisions of this chapter is observed, the council president or secretary may give the permittee a written warning. However, if the permittee has been previously warned or if the violation is of sufficiently serious nature, the council president may instruct any agent or employee of the council to prepare and file, upon information and belief based upon the facts in hand, a petition for suspension or revocation of the permit, setting forth the facts and circumstances of the violation, and shall thereupon summon the permittee to appear and show cause why the permit should not be suspended or revoked.

    (b)

    Sheriffs, and other law enforcing officers shall have periodic investigations made of the business of all permittees within their respective jurisdiction. If any violation of any provisions of this chapter is observed, such authorities may give the permittee a written warning. However, if the permittee has been previously warned or if the violation is of a sufficiently serious nature, they shall file an affidavit with the council, setting forth the facts and circumstances of the violation. Thereupon, the council, shall summon the permittee to appear and show cause why the permit should not be suspended or revoked.

    (c)

    Any person may file with the council a sworn petition requesting that a permit be suspended or revoked. When such a petition is received by the council it shall summon the permittee to appear and show cause why the permit should not be suspended or revoked.

    No such petition shall be considered by the council unless sworn to by the petitioner in an affidavit, which also affirms that the petitioner, together with witnesses, if any, will appear at the hearing to establish the allegations of the petition, and unless the petition sets forth facts constituting a cause or causes enumerated in or authorized by this chapter for the suspension or revocation of a permit.
