§ 15-23. Same—Revocation.

(a)

Permits issued pursuant to this article may be revoked or suspended for a term, as hereinafter provided, by the board or the county administrator for: (i) failure to comply with this article; (ii) failure to comply with any state statutes or regulations; or (iii) failure to comply with rules and regulations established by the fire and EMS department.

(b)

If a permit is revoked or suspended for a term, the county administrator shall notify the permittee in writing of such decision, the reasons for the revocation, and the permittee's right to request a hearing. To receive a hearing, the permittee must make a written request for a hearing which must be received by the county administrator within ten days of the revocation notice. If a hearing request is not received within ten days of the revocation notice, the suspension or revocation shall be final. If a hearing is properly requested, it shall be held within ten days from receipt of the hearing request. The hearing shall be presided over by the county administrator or his designee. The appealing permittee shall have the right to present evidence and argument or to have counsel do so. Within a reasonable time after the hearing, the county administrator shall render his decision, which shall be final. The permittee must discontinue operation of its business when the decision to revoke its permit is final.

(c)

When the protection of public health, safety or welfare requires such action, the county administrator or his designee may direct immediate suspension or revocation of a permit by so stating in the revocation notice to the permittee. When action is taken pursuant to this paragraph, the permittee must immediately discontinue the activities granted by the permit and this article, but shall have the right to a hearing as stated in subparagraph (b).
